      I’ll be very boring & say (for myself & my sons) — DINOSAURS!!!!! ;-D

      Aside from the scientific limitations, I love the movie Jurassic Park! 😀

      I’d have to say the archaeopteryx because it’s such a cute dinosaur and was the first dinosaur we realised had feathers (it turns out most dinosaurs had some kind of feathers even the T Rex!)

      I would say the wooly mammoth, I feel that the Highlands of Scotland would be improved by herds of mammoths wandering around! Although I guess then we would have to re-introduce sabre toothed tigers to keep the population down…..

      It would have to be a the Dinosaur, Stegosaurus. Firstly it wouldn’t eat us as it was a herbivore! It was a large lizard that lived 150 million years ago…what is best about it is it had a row of plates along its back filled with blood vessels. These were too flimsy for defence against attach, but we think that it would flush blood into them and create a display of frightening colour to scare away any predators. It also had metre long spikes on its tail which could be swung around to hit any predators!

      Mammoths! We talk about this at work a lot actually (for some reason). I think mammoths should be very tasty (because we ate them all), so we can fund our research to bring them back by sustainably farming them. 🙂
