Nearest thing we have to a dinosaur today are alligator/crocodiles and maybe Komodo dragons. I don’t want to meet them in the wild.
Why not? My first face-to-face with a ‘gator was cool. First trip to the Everglades, we stopped at the first trail...nobody there. Started walking the loop, and saw an orange traffic cone by the side of the trail, by a little washed out spot. Started looking, heard a “peep” and a splash, and froze. Looked closely, and there were hatchling ‘gators on a nest. First thought...”Where’s mom?” Take a step back, and start searching the grass. I found her eyes and snout very close, on the other side of the babies.
