    They should totally make a Zombie apocalypse survival horror game where you're some tribesman trying to survive in the prehistoric jungles :P

    Imagine just walking past some "dead" T-rex corpse and it gets up and gives chase lol

    Any of the Ankylosaurids would fit that description.

    Also, just to be pedantic, there is no such thing as a "brontosaurus." In short, scientists back in 1877 discovered a sauropod (long necked dinosaur) and named it apatosaurus. Two years later, they find another Sauropod, and, thinking it's from a different genus, name it Brontosaurus. In 1903, however, scientists took a look at both skeletons, decided they were one and the same, and merged them into one genus. Because Apatosaurus was discovered first, it's name stuck.

    I'm pretty sure Dino Crisis had something in that direction.

    Well kind of I suppose, but it was more sci-fi futurism than prehistoria. Think Amnesia: The Dark Descent in terms of camera/controls/atmosphere, but with more zombies :P

Also studies in drumheller (sp?) Alberta show that t-rex couldn't have been a scavenger as through scavenging he couldnt maintain his large size and starve and as well by loosk of the bones it is estimated t-rex could run almost 60km/h and was infact a solitary hunter.

    ....okay we've gotten really off-topic now xD Just get irked with the whole spino think because of the crap that was JP3
    While Im sure spino would get his ass kicked, Just going from wikipedia "Most recent research on Tyrannosaurus locomotion does not support speeds faster than 40 kilometres per hour (25 mph)" meaning he was a medium speed runner.

    Also most people seem to think it was both a hunter and scavanger.


    Also we should note that these people are going off of fossils and can never know everything which is why there is so much debate in the community. Basically everyone just sides with whichever side is the side they like better.


    Just going by appearance is why I like spino second is probally Parasaurolophus

    Archaeopteryx & Quetzalcoatlus are awesome sauce.

    I'm a guy, but I've always found them fascinating as well...especially when you consider that if an asteroid hadn't taken them out, they'd probably still be here...and we would not.

    My favorite would probably be Stegosaurous.

    People tend to think that your one or the other which is wrong. Lions scavenge as much as they hunt and spotted hyenas hunt as much as they scavenge. Successful carnivores are opportunistic feeders.

    Gotta go with raptors because they had feathers to give them lift and make them lighter when running. Precursors to todays birds of course.

    Where is Snooki..? She has enough qualities to be a swamp dwelling lizard from the ancient world.

    Allosaurus and Ankylosaurus are my two favoured Dinosaurs.

    I wasn't aware of that D:

    I guess since my original choice isn't one I'll have to go with Utah Raptor.
