Your plan in a DINOSAUR apocalypse.

[Fridge]

Okay, so I saw yet another zombie apocalypse thread and I thought to myself "Why's it always a zombie apocalypse?".

So naturally, after watching Jurassic Park 2 and 3 last night stemmed this thread. Here's some background info:

Dinosaurs have (Inexplicably) become the dominant species on earth. Following Jurassic Park logic, there seems to be no military for whatever reason (possibly destroyed by T-Rexes in F-15s) so you and the general populace of your town/suburb/city/rural area are left to fight off the dinosaur menace.

Following normal principles, the whole dinosaur ecosystem has been intergrated, meaning lots of herbivores of all shapes and sizes, along with the usual cast of Jurassic Park beasts, Deinonychus (JP Velociraptors), T-rexes, Compsognathus, Torosaurus and Spinosaurus.

So, how would you fare?
What would be your course of action?
And most of all, would you survive?

Post in some detail and respect peoples ideas, it's supposed to be a discussion starter, so go nuts!

Ok just a quick thought on this one.

I'd probably try to make my way toward somewhere cold, like Iceland or Greenland. The theory is that dinosaurs are cold blooded and really wouldn't survive well there. If I can't get off this Isle then I'd go up to the Scottish highlands with a few people and try to eek out a living there.

Oh and the Zombie thread is my fault I did a search and found one from 2009 and thought I would just throw my contingency plan at it. As I have stated in the thread though, at least I didn't make a new one

Pull a Sephiroth and call Meteor. And hope there aren't any emo seccurity guards to stop me.

Go to work and start turning fork lift trucks into makeshift battle tanks using the various tools and metal work in the machine shop, electrify the fences and barricade the various larger entrances. A few of the guys I work with have shotguns/rifles or sporting bows so we should be able to hold out long enough to build up a sizable force, food and keeping the power up are the only real concerns.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

I'd tame and ride a velociraptor.
Hell yeah!

 

[sycoesis]

interesting i think i could make it but im going to need a jar of peanut-butter an elephant gun a good number of grenades a fast heavy duty truck and a blow horn ooh and most importantly enough scotch to drown a t-Rex (no its not for the dinosaur if its an apocalypse I'm going to be bat shit drunk)

 

[imnot]

train Dinomite and become dinobuddys!

 

[thenumberthirteen]

According to Young Earth Creationism we lived peacefully with dinosaurs until they were wiped out in the flood. So they seem to keep out of people's way.

If it did happen I'd probably hide in a mine like in Reign of Fire and use shotguns to keep away Dinos. Velociraptors were just small things about the size of a Turkey so I should be OK.

 

[KindOfnElf]

I am becoming HIM!!!

Spoiler: All dinosaur FEAR ME!!!

 

[Ranooth]

Find a way to strap some rockets to the moon to cause it to hit the earth, it may not be an asteroid and it may actually destroy Earth but hey its worth a shot dammit!!

Failing that turn rogue and become leader of the velociraptors!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Curl into the fetal position.

Cool ideas, ba-dum tish.

One hitch with your theroies is that most scientists speculate that most larger dinosaurs (i.e triceratops/Utahraptor or larger) were most likely warm-blooded, cinsidering that the amount of energy cold blood would have to pump around the body via sunlight is way more than it could handle, thus a more logical genetic trait in larger dinosaurs would have been warm blood.
I'm not sure how many species of dino were arcitally based, but you'd definitely have to look out for creatures like Liopleurodon.

It's about 7.5 metres long and partols the seas. It has 7 centimetre teeth and is carnivourous. It is evil.

train Dinomite and become dinobuddys!

Hey, I'll have you know that Tyrannosaurus X is far more superior and Dino-tastic than Dinomite! XP

OT: I'd probably fall back on everything that xkcd has taught me about forestalling death at the hands of velicoraptors. Which is little. So...yeah, i'd be dying horribly, methinks.

Scotland it is then lol

 

[vrbtny]

Isn't it obvious?

Get Chuck Norris. Problem Solved.

Chuck could take out a T-rex -- while Chuck is in a blindfold and has his hands tied behind his back -- See, no prob.

The answer to any question, is Chuck Norris. (Quick, Someone post that pic.)

lol they had a jurasic park marathon last night over here too! hmmmmm depending on where they come from and weather or not the cities are safe I might go home to the farmm and hang out there with the hunting rifle

or If I stayed here in the city I would try and get a gun...or a Katana!

 

[WolfThomas]

I assume you live in Australia then, because that's the same thing I did last night and the exact same thought I had (should have made this thread then /mumble).

Honestly this scenario scares me just as much as Zombies if not more, I have a gun but it's only .223 so it's not going to stop even a raptor unless I have a good shot. My dad has some .308s they might be a bit better but we're definitely gonna have to start rocking weapons in big game cartridges like .600nitro.

I guess the plus side is that while most dinosaurs want to eat us, they're not constantly hunting us like zombies. I think if we can find the right places to hold up, either under ground or on mountain sides we can live away from the majority of predators.

Team up with the other non-dinosaur animals for an epic last stand. BEAR CAVALRY, HO!

There are also a lot of people, unlike in a zombie attack, the numbers are limited because the majority are zombies.
In a dinosaur attack, there would be no contest, millions of people with guns = victory
