i find that rather easy, actually. having grown up in very small towns and villages, deep in forest high in mountains, their only link to so called civilization being the railroad for which my father was towerman/telegrapher/clerk, what the railroad called 'train order operator'. i find a not unlikely future either, the extinction of a species, however sapient, led and dominated, by those most out of touch with the very physical means of its existence. in time, in humanity's absence, thousands, perhaps millions of years after its demise, sapience would, under those conditions, arise among some other species. the rise of furry sapiens. nature may however, find it sufficient, merely to reduce our numbers, to per-historic levels. this does not mean that scientific method, or most of current knowledge need be lost. thus not necessarily reducing our tech levels, for those scattered straggling few, who chance to win nature's survival lottery, further then those of the early 20th century, or even mid 19th. but still too far for the kind of massive undertakings the extraction of coal and oil require. an abundance of ruins to be found everywhere, from which knowledge and materials may be scavenged, by those who dare the risks of lingering infections, and simple structural failure from lack of maintenance. leamurs and red pandas, likely candidates for inheritors of a world lost to humans by their short sighted indifference. and perhaps benobos. (thus the basis of how i imagine furry. not so much among us, as our inheritors.) (also the kind of setting, i would like to find others willing to role play. plenty of adventuring daring natural risks, with little or no, direct physical combat with each other, as those inclined toward the latter, more likely then not, to have long since already killed each other off. the vast majority, whether furry or malnourished human, engaged primarily in a mix of subsistence agriculture and hunting and gathering. the daring few, who venture the risks of exploring ruins and the wider world, looked on as something a bit odd, and perhaps somewhat insane. i've had many dreams set in such a world too.)

I imagine some giant creatures, like some of these creatures bigger than elephants, would dominate the Earth. They would have features similar to birds and reptiles but most of them would not fly.
oh you mean my cousins? i just had beer and a doob with those guy's last ... well i'm not at liberty to say where and when, still classified and all that ~
yes and it was, and may well be again when we are gone, or greatly reduced in numbers, however that might come about. such a world would likely in time, nurture some species into sapience. but need not be one as rough on its planet as our has been.
Errybody on the planet earth is gone .. And I am left to roam alone.. I see mangled people on the streets Background lookin' like a Stephen King scenery
I had a dream where I was the only one left on Earth. Me and some dinosaur actually It was interesting
Sometimes I fantasize about being able to leave Earth, and go to an earth-like planet that has not been molested by humans.
i see no reason, to expect the rest of the universe, to welcome us, if we don't clean up our own act here furst. i don't believe the western hemisphere, was here for europe to take, and i don't believe other earth like worlds, are there for humanity to take. we take the baggage of who we are with us. if its just one of us, then its just who that one of us is. but if there's anyone with us, then there's the social baggage of everyone we take. there is a universe out there, and if travel between worlds is possible, then there will be worlds on which people from many worlds, who have learned the lessons we have yet to, will be living on each other's worlds, in peace and harmony, with each other, and most especially with each worlds environment. and it is our ignorance and indifference toward nature, and how nature provides for us, that is by far, the greatest of all threats, to our own future on this planet. a technologically bright future is still possible too. but only if we change the priorities with which we develop that technology, to be those of bringing it into harmony with nature and balance. i don't believe reality is going to accept, the excuses of either extreme, for not doing so.
I’m sure we can whittle down the location to Dugway proving grounds, Hanger 18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton Ohio, or Area 51 (aka Dream Land, aka Groom Lake) Hotwater
all of those places, with all their military security and all, that would be like putting up a giant billboard saying look here. although i'll agree the groom lake, is an indigenously sacred place, and should not be desecrated in the way that it has been. but no, these are not the places, any of them. i suppose there may have been some contact at all or most of them, but the rest of the universe really does practice non-interference. at least the galactic "u.n." does. can't speak for rogue worlds of less wise intent of course.
