If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?
I imagine, if humans were around during the time of the dinosaurs (Mesozoic Era), much like humans during the Paleolithic era, it would have been horrifying and essentially survival of the fittest. Can anyone tell I was a bit of a nerd? But let’s have some fun with the question anyway!
I’ve always been fascinated with dinosaurs ever since I was a kid and the movie, The Land Before Time, was my jam! Who didn’t love the gang; Littlefoot, Petrie, Cera, Spike and Ducky. Each with their own personalities, traits and struggles. You grow up loving each of them for different reasons. Then came Jurassic Park, which blew your mind (back in the 90’s), and to witness these creatures coming to life on screen was amazing!
However, if I had to pick one…well that’s a tough choice. I’ll give you two: A Stegosaurus or Brachiosaurus. Spike always captured my heart for the sheer fact he always just wanted to be a lazy bones, kind of shy and loved to eat. Apparently, Stegosaurus are considered to be the dumbest dinosaur because of their small brains. I’m not sure that’s true, but we will never know! Still adorable in my opinion though!
As for the Brachiosaurus, well the classic scene in Jurassic Park of the one sneezing has always had my heart and still makes me laugh to this day! Their tall stature would have been a wonder to see. These beauties were always made to be gentle, veggie loving creatures on film. And I often wondered if that was true. Again, we will never know!
Sadly, every prey needs a predator or else the ecosystem would be out of control. But who wants to bring back a T-Rex, Velociraptor, or the Mosasaurus?!
No thanks!
I prefer a world without dinosaurs, even as fascinating as they may be. As more fossils are being discovered, more is being learned about these incredible creatures, but I’m happy just looking at the bones in museums.
Which dinosaur would you bring back?
Ciao!
