Ha! Good answer. Right, we'll have two T Rexs, one King Kong and we'll have to depopulate areas to give them their habitat. Hows-about we use New Zealand?

I'm too busy visualising the taste of T Rex double whopper with cheese burgers than to worry about where you guys are planning your dino eugenics...

I always wanted to go to New Zealand! LOL

James Morcan | 11380 comments Why you guys wanna depopulate certain areas anyway? I thought this group mostly agrees the world ain't overpopulated?
Are you sure you guys ain't some eugenics group secretly working for Prince Philip using the cloning of dinos as an excuse to depopulate humans?

Hmmmm...Maybe visualising the cuisine of RexDonalds is making me paranoid!

James Morcan | 11380 comments As this thread is perhaps one of the longest ever in Goodreads history, should we perhaps fit the meaning of life into the discussion???
I mean, I have no idea what this has to do with dinos, but then again most of the 1,000+ posts to date had nothing to do with dinos anyway let's face it...So does anyone know the meaning of life? :)

James Morcan | 11380 comments Kiwi birds cannot fly and are therefore already very close to extinction...And now you wanna encourage people to kill them?
How irresponsible of you!
Prince Philip (your real boss) will not be happy - he wants to kill humans not animals.
Remember, the Royals love all animals...it's humans they don't like ;)

And now you are attacking the vegetable/fruit kingdom as well!
Son of Phillip, The Honourable Prince of Wales, Prince Charles (aka 'Charlie' aka 'Big Ears') talks to tomatoes all day long...
Expect to be disciplined.

Also, a real Kiwi is a bird not a fruit.
It's a flightless bird that looks like this: http://www.liveanimalslist.com/birds/...

For some reason Darwinian evolution didn't work out for this hapless bird as it has no real wings to speak of as you can see in the pic...Plus it moves quite slowly so is easy prey for predators like wild cats etc...

And to bring this thread vaguely back on topic, there was another flightless bird in New Zealand that was a left over from dinos. It was the gigantic Moa bird. They are extinct now, but were still in NZ until about the 16th or 17th century when they were hunted to extinction by the Maori people (pre European Polynesian settlers in NZ and the original inhabitants). They grew to about 13 feet tall.

Here's the beginning of the Wikipedia page for Moas: The moa were nine species of flightless birds endemic to New Zealand. The two largest species, Dinornis robustus and Dinornis novaezelandiae, reached about 3.6 m in height with neck outstretched, and weighed about 230 kg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moa

Here's a pic of their estimated size compared to humans: https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/...

Here's an article on interrelated creatures: 'When Flightless Birds Ruled the Land: The “Terror” Birds of the New World' -- http://thenaturalhistorian.com/2013/0...

There's also another dino-like creature that lived in NZ until quite recently. It's known as the Haast's eagle and they must've been gigantic birds as they used to hunt and eat Moa birds.

The Haast's eagle (Harpagornis moorei) is an extinct species of eagle that once lived in the South Island of New Zealand, commonly accepted to be the Pouakai of Maori legend.[1] The species was the largest eagle known to have existed. Its primary prey was suspected to consist of moa. This eagle's massive size may have been an evolutionary response to the size of its prey, as both would have been much smaller when they first came to the island, and would have grown larger over time due to lack of competition (see island gigantism). Haast's eagle became extinct around 1400, when its major food source, the moa, were hunted to extinction by Maori, and much of its dense-forest habitat was cleared by them.

No I haven't seen it !!. Could you please share the link .. I've seen "Megaladon the apex predator" doc few weeks ago. Who do you think the no 1 predator Beth ?. Predetor X or Megaladon ?.

And I really enjoyed this documentary about Mosasaur, another terrifying prehistoric sea monster. It's bit old but really good.

Erma Talamante (eitalamante) | 55 comments I just started reading this, and I must say, loving the conversation so far (only on message 22, but I am hooked). But, as I am so short into this, I will withhold my opinions (of which I have many) until I get to the end. No point re-hashing something that may come later.

I also like the multitude of links. Gives a better idea of where the poster is coming from.

Thanks again for the fascinating thread! Until later...

Harry Jr was named after Harry (snr) Kissinger
But if you're paying attention Harry Jr is the bastard child of Harry sr hence the different surname

This is probably why other members are calling him a greedy fat cat :)

We need an evil villain for the dinosaur movie. Kissinger would be perfect... I'm thinking in a darker Dr. Strangelove kind of way...


message 893: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments Let's call him Harry Es-Kissinger to avoid being sued by the real Kissinger.
And so Harry Es-K hates humans and believes they are parasites who need to be depopulated. So when the dinos are resurrected (ala the cloning in Jurassic Park 1) he gets scientists to inject steroids into the dinos so they grow twice as big as expected and cannot be contained. They slaughter 90% of humanity, meanwhile our villain Harry Es-Kissinger takes his family to a secret moon colony to avoid being massacred.

But the humanists who survive find creative ways to fight back against the dinos...

James Morcan | 11380 comments Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton:

A billionaire has created a technique to clone dinosaurs. From the DNA that his crack team of scientists extract, he is able to grow the dinosaurs in his laboratories and lock them away on an island behind electric fences, creating a sort of theme park. He asks a group of scientists from several different fields to come and view the park, but something goes terribly wrong when a worker on the island turns traitor and shuts down the power.
