Dino lovers: Why do we still love them as adults?

Velociraptor cunning, mean sons of bitches all good qualities in my book.

My mother-in-law.She has lived a very full life and has seen it all ;)

T Rex. Because there bones look the coolest.

None. That’s why they are gone.

Velociraptor and Pterydactl (sp) are close runners up. I think there are some renderings on my blawg listed in my info.

STEGO! STEGO!

This one.

I just had to do it :P

I see the question has changed. well. we love them because 1. they are one of the most interesting things ever. 2. they are gone and therefore mysterious. 3. they were huge. 4. THEYRE JUST COOL.

not the mama!!

They made me change it @deni! No “simple polls”, even though I love “simple polls”.

@kikibirdjones i figured! bummer! i was looking forward to seeing which dino would take the cake.

I know! Booooo.

Why do we still love dinosaurs as adults?

BECAUSE THEY’RE AWESOME!

My vote goes to Deinonychus.

—There’s a great dinosaur RSS feed at Science Daily.

I’ve loved them since I was a child myself, and I think it has to do with the fact that they are not with us atm. It makes them mysterious and even something fun to play with. As an artist, I like to use them as a means of being creative and making various designs of what dinosaurs might have looked like. I find them just as beautiful and fascinating as animals today, the only difference is that they are in their unique style of animals that currently do not exist today.

Btw, I mostly love Dromaeosaurids, particuarly that of the Utahraptor. It’s all Robert Bakers fault :P

What’s not to love about dinosaurs!
And whichever one Little Foot is is the best.
What does long neck translate to?

Barney forced us to fall in love with dinosaurs all over again.

I don’t…....because I’m an adult.

Because we are thrill seekers and we’d rather visit Jurassic Park than Disneyworld?
