What Kind Of Extinct Animal Would You Want To Be?

I’d like to be an Ichthyosaur

Can you imagine it? You’d be all like swimming in the ocean and having a good time and people would be like, “Look at the fish.” But all the time you’d be winking to yourself that “I’m not a fish.”

The joke would be on them. Then some scientist would come up and recognize you and he’d run back and tell his geeky friends, but you’d simply swim away, knowing that the other scientists would say that ichthyosaurs were extinct and from that day on everyone would think he’s crazy. :slight_smile:

So what kind of extinct animal would you be?

The quagga, I guess.

A saber toothed tiger. A preditor who was so good at it that it went extict.:eek:

yes, my idiot cat is helping me with this post, please forgibve the typos.

A pterosaur.

Dragon. Definitely dragon.

Shoggoth!

The Rational American Political Leader.

A 300 baud modem. Hear my connecting cry and tremble!

Can there be any answer other than a T Rex? Running around with your teeny arms and giant head, striking fear into everyone around you. Munching on their bodies, screaming so loudly that everyone else cowers in terror. That’s the life for me! :slight_smile:

The Ivory Billed Woodpecker.

If you watch Jurassic Park backwards, it’s about some kids freeing a velociraptor trapped in a freezer, later the kids and scientists are chasing a moonwalking T-Rex in a jeep going in reverse. T-Rex is so traumatized by the experience she runs to the toilet and throws up a lawyer.

Me, I’d be an Argentavis.

But all the ivory hunters would extinct you again in no time flat :slight_smile:

Yeah but can you blame her? :slight_smile:

Neanderthal. Maybe I could use that muscly and bone-dense frame to make a fortune as a pro athlete. It’d be hilarious if it turned out I was perfectly suited for tennis or golf. I think I could blend in more or less.

An ankylosaurus. The most badass of all the dinosaurs.

Megalodon. Everything in the ocean is MINE.

Yeah see, that’s why I’d never be anything in the ocean, giant ocean monsters are terrifying! :eek:

The megatherium. Besides the simple joys of being a giant sloth, they’re also thought to have been bad-ass enough to find kills made by saber-toothed cats and chase the cats away so they could get some free protein. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Pliocene era carnivores!

Homo sapiens.

They’re not extinct yet? They should be.

Can’t beat’em, join’em :smiley:

or hit’em in the 'nads and run/swim like hell.
