It first has to be made clear what "dinosaur" means. In a scientific sense it only means the members of the orders saurischia and ornithischia, which are both members of the sub class archosauria. the order pterosauria is also a member of thast sub class, as is the order crocodilia, but both are scientifically not counted among the dinosaurs.
However, there is an unscientific use of the term dinosaur too, and it means more or less any gigantic reptiile of the mesozoikum, including mosasaurs, ichtyosaurs, pliosaurs, plesiosaurs, elasmosaurs and others..
If we use the latter definition my personal favorite is a pliosaur named Kronosaurus. Its skull alone was three meters long.

A few palaeontologists I have conversed with stated that they did not buy into the theory of the T.REX's vision based on movement. The theory is mentioned by Doctor Grant in Jurassic Park and many find it to be a made up Hollywood thing for show and tell. But still, other palaeontologists believe that it could have been a great possibility. Those who disagree make a claim to the entire observation having more directly to do with the shape of the T.REX'S head and further stating that he could only have vision when glancing straight ahead. In otherwords, directly in front of him. A side view was not optional. I have pondered over observation of the T.REX'S senses. Could the T.REX perhaps smell you?
Various classifications of Raptors are brutal. The hunting aspect to it all was nightmarish to me personally. Supposedly that predator instinct where for example according to speculation, let's say from a pretenious aspect, if a human were spotted and was able to hide, the Raptor or Tyrannosaurus would circle around previous steps .....re-tracking and re-tracing steps becoming an ambush predator using surprise to help him overcome the prey.......which in the fantasy sense would of course be you. I find that to be a nightmare within itself. Regarding the fantasy and impossible reality of humans and dinosaurs thrown together, the most horrible aspect to it would be escape. Logically, there would be no method of you getting away. Maybe if there was an underground chamber? It's not like Massai boys sticking spears into a lion's belly. In any event, the nightmares I have had are real screamers. It's because of the history and the affect it has on me. It's still frightening for me to think that they once walked the earth.  |

Not really. They share some similarities mind. But I think there would be the odd fight. I'm not sure they would all fit in the house of commons or senate or whatever.

I like Velociraptors, whatever technical name you wish to call them by. Among the most vicious of the carnivorous beasts, unlike the T-Rex, who was much more of a scavenger, they now say.
