Asper Sarnoff Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Imagine you were dropped straight into the dining table of one of these cuddly creatures... Which one would you rather avoid?BTW, several, if not most of these pictures depict these creatures in a somewhat inaccurate way. I figured that would be okay since I, and probably Sabre, are the only ones who know much about the subject, and I wanted the badass factor.Deinonychus You've probably seen this in action in the Jurassic Park movies, tough there it was named after its smaller cousin, the Velociraptor, which would hardly have reaced an average person to the hip in reality.Dunkleosteus Ten meter long armored fish with a bite like a guillotine.Giganotosaurus One don't get much bigger than this. An Allosaurus on stereoids.Megalodon The prehistoric big brother of the great white shark, with the most powerfull bite in history."Predator X" Cool name... What's even cooler about this newly discovered(By my childhood idol, Jørn Hurum.) Pliosaur is that its estimated biteforce is about 16 tonnes, four times that of a T-rex.Sabertooth TigerNot your ordinary pussycat...Spinosaurus I don't like it, it stole T-rex's thunder. But there is no getting away from the fact that it's the largest carnivore we know have ever roamed the earth, if we go by length. (The sail was a double-edged sword tough, it allowed it to stay warm and active, but bending it to far would break Spinos backbone.)Tyrannosaurus Rex The Elvis of the dinosaurs, a living legend that I shouldn't even have to remind people of how much of a beast it was.So, what will it be?

Guest Julius Quasar Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The Megalodon.I hate sharks, I f***ing hate 'em! I have nightmares about them.I'm glad the Chinese are poaching and mutilating them to make their famous "shark fin soup" (delicious, but expensive).

I find them to be fantastic creatures, but I also fear them in some way. They can't be tamed or controlled, they are perfectly adapted to their enviroment, and have excisted virtually unchanged for so many million years.I wouldn't want any species to die out for good, but there are hundreds of species, not counting insects, which I'd rather let go than the sharks.

Guest Para Astaroth Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'd have to say the Megalodon, for what would you do if you were submerged underwater about fifty, or more, yards and all of a sudden see a sihlouette of a shark, then thinking it isn't that big. All of a sudden, you see it come closer, then disappear. Looking around, you wonder where it would be, then you realize they strike mostly from below to gain velocity and catch their prey off guard, then helplessly look below yourself to see it's massive mug open it's jie-normous mouth with teeth the size of a football, or rugby ball, and slamming down with you inside.That... Just gives me chills by thinking about it... O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Badarse is good.The 'raptor' for me. I've met a real T-rex, twince in fact. They seem smaller then in the films, but they are huge up close.The reason I picked the raptors. Like finding half a cockroach in your dinner, only finding 1 is bad. Also they can talk and have machine guns./geek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePointingMan Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Dunkleosteus. If I'm gonna be eaten, I'd wanna be eaten by the coolest looking thing, and the Dunkleosteus is not the coolest one there. I'd have to say Megalodon for the one I'd most like to meet, Sharks are awesome, now A large version of a shark, just AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DRL Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Deinonychus mainly, althrough Saber Tooth tiger is alsoquite bada**. Both off these would rip me a limb and eatit while I am screaming... Da*n it! ... well, at leastthey are cool, are not they? It this topic were about the "I like most", I wouldpreffer a Brachiosaurus (sorry I can not spell it correctlyin English, but they are those with the LOOONG necks).I would love to climb up to their head!

Vy'drach Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 While I do love sharks a great deal (beautiful creatures), and I do hold much respect for Carcharodon Megaladon, I even have a fossilized Megaladon tooth, I went with other, with the other being a Utahraptor. Every other raptor species is rather tiny, the Utahraptor is the only giant raptor known to of existed. The raptors in Jurassic Park were not actually Velociraptors, but Utahrapors, a real Velociraptor comes to about your knee cap, and the Deinonychus comes to your hips. Like all raptors, the Utahraptor was intelligent, adaptive, and hunted in groups, coupled with it's incredible running ability and lethal killing claws (essentially the big toe), I would not want to be remotely near one.

ThePointingMan Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Oh wait, I didn't realize the question was different then the topic, although I'd least like to see the Dunkleosteus, the one that would Scare the most crap outa me would definitely be the one I wanna see the most, the Megalodon, that thing would scare all of my vital organs outa me.

Guest DRL Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Personally I would not be so scared off big animals.All I would have to do is to lure them to a bigger, more'common' prey.And if they catch me, I am pretty sure they mandibleswould crush me fast enought to not feel any serious pain...A thing the smaller ones would certainly make me feel.

Asper Sarnoff Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Those dinos with the poison and thrills Jurassic Park, for some reason I'm afraid of poisonus animals.Dilophosaurus. A very early dinosaur, which there has been no proof for that it had neither shrills or venom.It's however likely that many predatory dinosaurs had tons of bacterias in their mouth, due to the rotting meat stuck between their teeth, similar to how the Comodo dragon has.The Comodo dragon, which is the worlds largest lizard, use this to its advantage when it bites large prey, and leaves them to die to the infection caused by its filthy jaws. It's possible that some dinosaurs employed the same tactic. i heard theres a dinisoaur that has more speed and more fierce then the T rex but i don't know witch one it was.There excisted dozens of dinosaurs larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex, and many, many more who was faster and more fierce. You're probably talking about a predator, in which case you're talking about either Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus or Giganotosaurus.Actually, the raptors in Jurassic Park were based off the Utahraptor, was found the morning that Spielberg's people called Robert T. Bakker about a giant raptor, and he had nothing to give them, then a few hours later, they discovered the Utahraptor, Bakker even wrote a fiction based on the Utahraptor they discovered, named her Raptor Red. The "Big Mama" raptor in the movie was actually based off the skeleton of Raptor Red.That's new to me, and believe me when I say I know everything about dinosaurs and Jurassic Park.Everything I've heard to this date was that the dromeasaurids in JP was based on the Deinonychus.
