If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?
Now that’s a question that bears on my mind constantly. I suppose I would have to bring back The Great Fruit Salad Dinosaur. Perhaps it would have survived the meteor and evolved into a shy, nocturnal, bowl-sized beast we could have domesticated. The little guy grazed on dandelions and crab grass, clearing weeds and snails from flowerbeds leaving behind citrus- scented excrement high in nitrogen, the size of sand grains, and beneficial to the landscape.
Since it was shy and nocturnal we wouldn’t develop affection for it. At the end of its one month lifecycle, it lays tiny eggs in flowerbeds that morph into small, brilliant flowers. The petals drop and mature in days. The little beasts synchronize their reproductive cycles so there are always plenty of blossoms, landscapers, and mature beasts. At their end of life, they turn golden brown and crawl up on the patio where they can be easily harvested and washed, before collapsing into delicious cubes tasting of strawberries, grapes, melon, peaches, and banana.
Has anyone seen these little fellows?
