Does your favorite extinct animal choice say something very basic about your personality?

Asked by Patty_Melt (17513points) May 4th, 2019

A conversation I was listening to with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Jeff Goldblum turned to the subject of children, dangers, and dinosaurs. The consensus was kids love the t Rex best because they are big and could eat you. They said the same applies to our perception of what aliens would be like if they came to this planet. They seemed to agree that movies about aliens always portray them as deadly because of a human fascination with danger.

This made me curious because my favorite extinct animals, though not dinosaurs, were the saber tooth cats, and woolly mammoth. While dangerous, neither rank in size as a t Rex, and mammoths were herbivores.

So, what are your favorite dinos, or extinct species, and do you feel that our answers to that question reveals some deeply embedded personality trait?
If so, what does my favorites being mammals say about me?
What does your choice day about you?

For extra credit, if aliens came here from another solar system, would President Trump make them go through the regular paperwork process?

By the way, those were my favorites long before Sid and Manny debuted.
