A better question will be: What did you smoke?

Twenty to Twenty one I think, i never really pay attention to my age really, (Not even joking, no really I am being Serious). But anyways yes I will really think about shooting or running down a rampaging Tyrannosaurus, really I might. But still there is a bigger chance I run than stay to fight a rampaging five ton behemoth predator with jaws to crush bone. Also I never smoked a thing unless you count burning piles of leaves and such then yes I breathed in smoke once. Edited by Megaraptorking, Nov 1 2013, 10:37 PM.

Can't believe this is the same guy I used to idolize for his photography... But in all seriousness, why would you want to shoot a T. rex in the face? On-topic: The way Megalodon is portrayed in the media, a particularly excruciating example coming from the Meg series. Saying it all is too big for one mouthful, so I'll just sum it up with a quote from TV Tropes:
The Meg books aren't bad, from what I've heard, but it seems like Steve Alten has an intense hatred for dinosaurs and marine reptiles. |

I don't know what you are talking about. If I saw a T. rex, I'd drive away from it as fast as possible. However, shooting it may be something I'd do, but not something I'd do immediately. For the Megalodon thing, did the person who wrote that say there were pliosaurs larger than Megalodon? If so, he/she needs to stop watching WWD. I also think that Megalodon wouldn't die out from fighting other predators if it were to somehow teleported into the Cretaceous, as it was larger than any of them, but because it's hunting style probably wouldn't have worked out too well against the prey in the oceans at that time. Anyways, I'm shocked Livyatan hasn't really appeared in pretty much any form of media. I thought that a mega-predator sperm whale would attract a lot of attention. |

The thing is, I think Livyatan is actually smaller than a sperm whale, as seen here:

Smaller, yes, but far more badass. At least sperm whales don't usually eat other whales. |

That isn't what I would call an accurate scale, considering the Pliosaurus Funkei is longer than the Megalodon, however Livyatan might have been slightly smaller than a bull sperm whale.

So far, the only depiction of Livyatan in the media I know of is Precious from Ice Age 4, and he was far from a badass superpredator. |

Off topic a second; Because if I had to protect my friends and family then I will be the distraction against the Rex. Plus really I do not like Tyrannosaurus as much as some others I mean Gorgo or something there is a 20% I would aim to shoot it to death but rex is a 50 50 chance. On topic; I really think that extinct whales seen by the media to them are underrated than a hungry Tyrannosaurus who would fight large dinosaurs on land without mercy would be something the media would most likely depict in their extinct animal shows because in almost every show dealing with dinosaurs the "mighty" Tyrannosaurs would appear when a extinct whale is almost non existent. |

and why would you want a whale to appear in a dinosaur show ? Off Topic: and i don't see why your reaction would change if you hate or not the animal. no matter if i was attacked by a monster pike or a huge evil catfish of Doom, i would still run (especially because it's not like the animal is staying there to be hit by you) Edited by Furka, Nov 2 2013, 08:04 AM.
