As some of you may have read, the brontosaurus has been reinstated as a separate species of dinosaur (See http://www.bendbulletin.com/nation/3061015-151/brontosaurus-is-back). This got me to thinking - what in ATOT's opinion is the "best" dinosaur, and why?
IMO opinion it has to be the Stegosaurus. Part hippo, part bird, part wrecking ball, all badass. And its herbaceous diet means that it can maintain an eco conscious vibe while beating the hell out of potential baddies with a built in mace.
T-Rex can't be the right choice in my opinion. Sure it was big and has lots of nasty teeth. But most researchers say it was nearly blind and was therefore reduced to scavenging the leavings of more impressive dinosaur species. Plus, no one is impressed by its pathetic arms.
Brontosaurus is like the Jim Belushi of dinosaurs. Lots of chicks love them because they are big, cuddly, and don't eat other animals. But the reality is they are just fatsos that spend most of their time in the water so that no one has to gaze upon their huge dino-guts.
Velociraptors are the paleolithic equivalent of a short modern day man. Alone, they are mere annoyances buzzing around larger, more impressive beasts screaming about how they are important and trying to make an impressive show of their modest prowess. Only when they attack in groups are they dangerous. Which leads to an important lesson - never anger a group of short men.
So what say you, ATOT?
