Lol.. I want to be a plant eater dino now so i'll rather be a Stegosaurus
Godzillaaaa
Something that traveled in groups... like a velociraptor... but since those guys are so small, Id go with Deinonychus or Utahraptor. Or a flying one like Quetzelcoatl.

It is my understanding that the entire dinosaur (pictured above) is based upon conjecture anf the fossil remains of it's (rather formidable) hands and claws. The hypotheses is that a theropod large enough to have such claws in proportion could not exist, that a carnivore with such claws would be over-balanced with a massive set of jaws, and that it could not be a quadruped (I'm not shur I buy any of this unsure.gif ). So: they figured that a herbivore evolved massive claws as a defense against predators.

Think about this though: what if those claws fit on a proportionally built carnivore.... blink.gif

Yup, its an herbivore/insectivore...Think of it as a speedy sloth. But don't be misled, those claws are formidable weapons and probably were used in defense as well as stripping bark for food.

I think I'd choose to be Troodon(spelling?) I like the species pretty well. Small, fast, smart, and kick ass vision. What's not to like. Course my second choice would be a T-Rex cuz come on who wouldn't wanna be one? The biggest toughest dino on the block that could eat just about anybody.

Been a long time froggie.

Until gut contents or teeth are found no one can say for sure if this is a Hebivore-Insectivore. Omnivore is probably what you really mean, much like large ground birds like Ostriches and Emus. Like those birds I suspect it would eat any creature it could swallow, so probaby small rodents, reptiles, and dinos along with vegetble material. Unless there were some large insects around, something that big would have a hard time catching them, and hardly worth the bother.

Then again, it could still be a supercarnivore. It is really weird that only the arms were found. These are often the rarest theropod bones to find because they are easily torn from a carcasse and swallowed unlike the larger bones.

Did you really have to add super in front of carnivore?What,could it stop speeding bullets or somthing? geek.gif

'Super' meaning extraordinarily larger than the rest.

I know this isn't a dino but I would be a megaladon (sorry if that's spelled wrong), because I'd never be the hunted just the hunter.
davesam
i would say argentinosaurus,coz its big................................................man,when it walks,the land will shake and that would be great to see.Not only argentinosaurus,and also if they exhibit any huge sauropod that is bigger than argentinosaurus,i will chose it.coz i want a huge sauropod...............................................it can beat the rivals with its huge tail or its strong legs...

Megaladon didn't exist until the superior huge sea reptiles died out with the KT extinction. Meg simply filled the niche left by the sea reptiles, and Meg went extinct when the large predatory whales came on the scene.

conclusion: large aquatic reptiles and mammals are superior preadators to sharks.

Do you realize the REAL velociraptor was only as big as a turkey? It would barely be a snack to he large theropod dinosaurs. The 'raptors' in Jurassic Park were actually the larger deinonychus, but 'velociraptor' was a cooler sounding name.

hmm.gif *sigh* seems some things will never change...
AND btw did you have to ruin the way kashshaptu thought velociraptor looked?Because of you his world is turned up side down and hes hunched over in the corner of his house with all of the lights turned off knitting somthing that isn't there.

Think i would have to be the Tropeognathus, Flying high above, and swooping down to take snidey pot shots at the bigger dinosaurs....

Yup these T-rex's and velociraptors wont know what hit'em....as i rip a chunk of their back and then drop a big dump on them as i fly off.......SSSSSQQQQQAAAAAWWWWWWK... grin2.gif
