If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

Morning all!
Just while I’m waiting for some sufficient feedback on my Novel taster (Don’t worry, you don’t have to reply if you don’t want to), I might as well stay active with writing by returning to the dreaded prompts! Terrible, I know.

Today’s question is one of them kiddy ones; “If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be”? Good old dinosaurs – stupid hyperobese lizards never fail to entertain. For me, though, it would be nice Anzu wyliei – also known as the “the chicken from hell”. What would I do with them, exactly? Well…breed a large number of them and release them into the wild. Maybe congregate them about the appalachian mountains to menace hikers. Something ill spirited like that. Or just keep them and fry them. The concept of oversized, frightening chickens is very funny to me. I’m such a child.

Also, fun fact – we need to let go of our traditional image of dinosaurs. It’s getting highly factually inaccurate. They do not roar. They are inclined to be coated in feathers post-jurassic. Tyronnasauruses probably wouldn’t bother to eat us because we’re too insubstantial a snack. Also, they probably smelt awful. It hurts, but it’s true.

Anyway, let me know if I’ve offended you with my dinosaur commentary – or you could just go and check out my taster story. OR you could just binge rancid sludge content on Tiktok, what with the family guy clips and subway surfers playing silmutaneosly – who the hell even watches that, it’s literally brain rot!

Either way, have a nice morning.
