If you could be a dinosaur trainer...

Me, I'd train tyrannosaurs(T.rex, Daspletosaurus, and Albertosaurus to be exact). No world conquest or anything behind it, purely for research and maybe a little education. Perhaps I'd take them on road shows or something around the country. Educate the public about these amazing animals. That's just me though.

Cool, I have to say that if I were to have taken this more seriosuly I would have done that. Show them to the public and get them the proper respect they deserve.

Hopefully they wouldn't randomly retaliate and eat the crowds like bears do...

Hopefully. For me at least, tyrannosaurs are pretty smart dinosaurs, so I think they could be taught to obey basic commands. I'd let kids hold little feathery baby tyrannosaurs and such. They'd be muzzled of course(the kids, not the dinos, lol JK). The adults would also be muzzled, have shock collars, and be kept at a safe distance most of the time. People would be allowed to touch them, but only under strict supervision.

I'd train T rex... FOR RIDING!

"They'd be muzzled of course(the kids, not the dinos, lol JK)"

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

I see what you mean, but still, bears are also pretty smart... The point is instinct would most likely overpower taught skills from the trainer in the long run...

Still, it's a cool idea.

I would be a raptor trainer (all kinds of dromaeosaurs- Utahraptor, Dienonychus, Dromaeosaurus, Velociraptor, and Microraptor). I would use them to teach the public about dinosaurs in a society where a lot of people couldn't care less about dinosaurs.

THEN I WOULD RULE THE WORLD!

Glad to see I wasn't the only who had world domination in mind.

>:-)

I would train a T-Rex, you know, just walk around town with a T-Rex on a leash, no big deal.

"I was walking in the park one day,

When a T-Rex came my way,

And my face was eaten away."

Lol

Did hear on the news, there is a large population of feral T-Rexes in the US!

Hide yo kids! Hide yo wife! Hide yo Spinosaurus (not really)!

Imagine if there were homeless dinosaurs and they started having commercials about how they need to be taken care of...

"in the eyes of the angel..I

Every year, thousands of dinosaurs are slaughtered. Over half of them are endangered...

JK they are all extinct

Chicken with sunglasses pops up and says: Surprise motha fu...

I would like to train a tyrranotitan. Hahah, seven words not five so you have to read this..

alright I'm kidding.

i would train a tyrranotitan because they are truly awesome creatures. Very bulky with powerful arms and robust skull.they are the perfect predator package. I would want to train one so I could have a bit ofgiganotosaurus and t.rex cause I can't decide. I would have large packs of them and I would take over Florida and then Central America! And crush the spinosaurus army!!

I would train Spinosaurs. (Spinosaurus, Suchomimus, Baryonyx, Irratitor, Oxalia, Aqegypticus, etc...). I would train them to be my personal body guard. I would train them to be vicious, but cautious, trusted only me, nobody else.

My main Spinosaurus, is the one I ride, I imagine he would move like a camel, the way it rocks on all four feet. Suchomimus's would be the next line of defense. Then Baryonyx, Irratitor, Oxalia, and then Aqegypticus. All of them would wear knight like armor with rocket launchers on both shoulders, and small machine guns on the wrists. To shot both the rocket launcher and the machine guns, they would close their fists, but in a different order to fire each weapon. I would train them to do both of course. My Spinosaurus would have head harness, with blades on the jaw, also with rocket launchers on both shoulders, which wold be ahot when he closes his jaw and looks down.

With my body guard, I would be the most protected ,most powerful, and most dangerous man on the planet.

its either raptors or tyrannosuars for me , both were smart and amazing creatures!

I would train raptors, for the same reason as in Jurassic World:  they are incredibly intelligent.  Yes, other dinosaurs can be trained too, under the possibility that you have months of free time and are incredibly knowledgeable aout operant conditioning.  Just to let you know, it is possible to "train" creatures that "aren't too bright"; one example was when one of the psychological and sociological giants BF Skinner was able to get pigeons to play ping-pong.  Yes, PING-PONG-PLAYING PIGEONS!!!!  So I guess we could have tyrannosaurs playing soccer pretty soon if we wanted to try that experiment at Jurassic World.

But I certainly would not do it where I am the supreme master of them.  One of the big underlying themes of the Jurassic Park franchise is ethics, and not only about genetics.  It's about zoos.  The argument is that zoos are like prisons, and lack the real world that the dinosaurs should enjoy because they are "sentient beings" (which is as true as with today's animals).  Now, I'm not taking one side or another on the zoo thing, but I do say that I would like to have a dinosaur to be my friend, like Toothless in How to Train Your Dragon.  Let the bond between me and a Utahraptor grow, and soon we'll be best friends!  I really can imagine the bond starting to form when he lets me touch his snout like Toothless did with Hiccup in the first movie.  It really showed the depth that animals have, and I hypothesize that dinosaurs were no different, even the most dangerous predators.

Speaking of How to Train Your Dragon, I guess I would also like to bond with a large pterosaur, hopefully large enough so that I could mount it, but only if we have a very strong bond, and that s/he trusts me completely.  I could just here the "Test Flight" theme from the movie in my head when I'm on the back of my pterosaur...

Quetzalcoatlus of course

first because, I bet it would be awesome to ride those flying giants

and I can do many thing with them

I can troll someone by ordering the quetzalcoatlus to poop on top of them

It is easier to escape to the air since, no one can follow me there

Travelling is easy, I can go anywhere whenever I want, the only thing that can stop me are bad weather

and when I saw someone I hate, I can just command them to grab those dastard and throw them ito the ground, watching him/her die crashing to the ground from the seat of glory on top of my mount

Does it have to be a real dinosaur?

If not, then i would train a Godzillasaurus then feed it radiation for it to become....

GOJIRA!!!!!!!!

LOL, just kidding.

Probably Deinonychus because they are closest to the Raptors in JP, but if i could train the Raptors in JP and JW...then HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Just found this fan art :p

Epanterias. Why? Because I love Allosaurs. I would also train Tyrannotitan because it is one  bad-ass motherf*cker
