Title: If you could be a dinosaur...
Post by: Bawfle on May 26, 2014, 06:43:00 pm
...What Dinosaur would you be?
My absolute favorite Dinosaurs are the Parasaurolophus, Urbacodon and the Velociraptor. Why you ask? Well I love them so much, mainly based through appearance, strategy, agility, camouflage and feeding/hunting skills. That is why I would be any of them dinosaurs if I could be one. I wouldn't like to bore you with details but if you find the chance, you should look them up sometime.
So what Dinosaur would you be?

So a member from the Pteranodon and Pterodactyl family? Awesome choice! Would be so fun to fly!

Hmmm... Either a yutyrannus or a centrosaurus, maybe? Even better, some kind of pterodactyl like the... Errr... had to find the name for this one but... Rhamphorhynchus, maybe? That'd definitely be fun. x3

I'm mostly into therapods myself. I might be a Baryonyx; a large, fish-eating dinosaur in the spinosaur family with a long snout and a big claw on it's forelimbs that it used for catching fish. I like my fish ^^ Or maybe some kind of dromaeosaur (raptor). Deinonycus probably, just cause they're so cool. It's Jurassic Park's fault. But then there's Tyrannosaurus...come on, guys, who wouldn't want to go around as T-Rex, roaring and nomming your dinner?

Although I like dinosaur species such as the Tyrannosaurs Rex and the Velociraptor these aren't the dinosaurs I would like to be. Eventhough they are beautiful creatures and probably at the top of the predator list with dinosaurs it appears I would like to be more of a plant eater if I had to be a dinosaur.
My first choice would have to be the Iguanodon, one of the reasons being I watched the Disney film 'Dinosaurs' and I instantly fell in love with this species of dino. But that isn't just the reason, another is I think they're beautiful and stand out - dark body with white/beige stripes - makes it look beautiful. Although I don't know much about them they are infact one of my favorites.
My other favourite dinosaur is the Pachyrhinosaurus. Again, one of the reasons I like this dinosaur is since I watched the 3D film 'Walking With Dinosaurs' and once watching this I liked this species even more. I don't know a great deal about this species of dinosaur either but they to are beautiful creatures and I wouldn't mind being one of these as well as the Iguanodon.
Here's a bit of facts about this carnivorous beast:
The Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus, or "Spine Lizard", was most probably the largest meat eater ever to walk the Earth. It was a bipedal dinosaur with a crocodile-like head and a sail running down its back. It had a 'fish trap' at the front of its snout - a cage-like array of small teeth that could hold slippery fish. A Spinosaurus' nostrils faced forwards, much like a crocodile, which would have been a useful adaption for hunting in the water. It had a huge sail running along its back. The longest spine measured a mighty 1.5m (5ft) long. The sail might have been used to regulate its body temperature, attract mates or deter enemies - or could have performed a combination of all of these functions. The sail could have been full of colour as a signal to mates and rivals. Spinosaurus had a secondary palate so that it could eat and breathe at the same time, just like a crocodile. Spinosaurus had the longest head of any known carnivorous dinosaur. It was close to 1.8m (6ft) in length - the same as the height of a grown man. It was an advanced theropod so we can assume that it had a high IQ for a dinosaur.
The Spinosaurus lived during the early-late Cretaceous, 100 million years ago. It lived in the large tidal floodplains and mangrove forests present in the area which we now know as the Sahara Desert. Spinosaurus might have shared its habitat with at least two other theropods, Bahariasaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The piscivorous diet of Spinosaurus set it apart from other dinosaurs. It was probably something like a Cretaceous grizzly bear, spearing fish with its claws and jaws while wading in streams. This dinosaur was adapted for hunting fish, but it would have taken land animals too. The fossilised remains of Iguanodon have been found near the giant theropod's stomach.
The Spinosaurus was:
7m / 22.96ft 2m (7ft) taller than Tyrannosaurus.
17m / 55.76ft 5m (16ft) longer than Tyrannosaurus.
20.0tonnes / 22.4short tons More than double the weight of Tyrannosaurus.
Spinosaurus was larger than Giganotosaurus and the famous Tyrannosaurus rex.
Spinosaurus is a theropod. These included all bipedal, carnivorous dinosaurs, including the more famous Tyrannosaurus. More specifically, Spinosaurus is part of a smaller group of dinosaurs with crocodile-like skulls and conical teeth, known as the Spinosauridae, which also includes Baryonyx.

I would be the true velociraptor. Although they were only 3ft tall, they were fast, cunning, and very cooperative in groups! They could still take you out, even if you're 6ft tall!

Ah, Buffy's favorite subjects. Only missing out apples though.
Deinonychus, that's the dino I'd be. They're quite big but not the size of a T-Rex and pretty but deadly. I really like to way they use feathers instead of other things like other dinos do.
I also like the way they look nice but are as deadly as any other dino, that's da bust.

If you would have asked me this 12 years ago, i could have named my top 100 dinos xD. The two I always liked were the Anklyosaurus and Dimetrodon. Six year old me loved dinosaurs and dragons so much, though i've forgotten names of many over the years.
(http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/naturelibrary/images/ic/credit/640x395/a/an/ankylosauria/ankylosauria_1.jpg) Idk. The first i was told was always my favorite. I could probably understand why. It's a friggin giant lizard with spikes and a weapon for its tail! (Hey, kinda reminds me of one of my characters actually. xD)
(http://scienceblogs.com/laelaps/wp-content/blogs.dir/435/files/2012/04/i-75849c3e6b8f727b48b204c41dfb6a42-Dimetrodon%20Vignette%201%20small.jpg) The second option, i actually sort of remember. You know when your little and you're obsessed with something to the point your annoying about it? Well, when you show six year old me a cross between a robot and a dino, you get obsessive fangirling. I believe i gained interest in dimetrodon's because of this monstrosity:
Epicness

My god i actually remember begging my parents to get me a figure of that. And I can understand why. Saw blade+sail=epic as epicness itself!

amg yes. DAT TOPIC DOEEE *dinosaur squeal*
Personally I would want to be a Velociraptor. They were all small and deadly (like me). And did you see those things on Jurrasic Park? T-Rex gets out: O let's hide wow this is bad. We better not move and he quiet. Velociraptors get out: LOCK THE DOORS SAVE THE CHILDREN BAD THINGS ARE BOUT TO GO DOWN
But actually some would argue that my personality might be more like a stereotypical T-Rex. Clueless with short arms.
Hehe but I'd definitely want to be a velociraptor.

If I'd be a dinosaur, I'd be this big fella (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/181/c/c/yutyrannus_huali_by_teratophoneus-d55gz1j.jpg) I just like its habitat and its design, plus its fluffy!

Kewl! I love Dinos, but my favorite of them all is a Velociraptor. I'd like to be one of them or a Pachyrhinosaur. Have yall seen Walking With Dinosaurs: The Movie?
