Abstract
We discuss the possibility of the survival of primordial black holes as dark matter candidates in various alternate gravity theories motivated from extra-dimensional scenarios. We show that in particular, braneworld black holes, as well as black holes in scalar-tensor models can survive up to late times by efficient accretion of radiation in the early universe.
