Debate team, that explains your ability to defend you opinion so well.
Predators do teach their offspring but I think we could teach them how to survive and if they were living in a zoo like JP then they really wouldn't need to learn how to hunt when their food is delivered everyday.
If Jurassic Park ever happened....
lol... yeah I had to do a lot of defending opinions... /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" />
Especially when it came to topics which I didn't really agree with... *lol* /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
I guess I did benefit from debating... and doing speeches...
Hey thats true. Even in todays Zoo's, the animals get 'tuned' to the feeding that the keepers give... so then they end up not using their hunting skills...
I guess its sorta like a circus...lol.... how people tame tigers and chimps... *lol*. Though... you gotta admit, it would take a little while and with a lot of practise and paitence...
Seeing a Tame T-Rex would be an interesting one... *lol* /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
Anyway, Don't you think that the dinos would end up being different though...? As in, Behaviour?
eg: Monkeys in Zoos behave slightly differently to the wild ones...

i don't think there is any need for taming these animals i think they will act according to their instincts and be successful.
i don't think they can be tamed, simply because i think they don't have the intelligence like other mammals to grasp what we teach them.

yeah i'm sure dinosaurs will act according to their instincts.
for example if you look at crocodiles,does the mother croc need to teach its young one how to feed and how to stay away from danger,NO, the mother only gives them a bit of protection,the young one at the meantime acts according to their natural instincts and finds their food and also stays away from danger.so i think young ones fo dinosaurs will also do the same thing.

/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> *lol*, you sure do take me seriously when I make little foolish jokes, don't you? When I had mentioned "Taming Dinos like Circus Animals, I had jokingly said it, but *lol*, funny how you have made it into an issue... /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
Now, before I take things furthur... I'd like to share something I found a while ago, in a way it kinda supports my opinions on PARENTAL INSTINCTS IN DINOS which I was going on about earlier..., I found it on: http://www.crystalinks.com/dinoarticles.html
And this is what the brief summery says:
Fossil hints at devoted parenting in dinosaurs Nature - September 2004
Fossil hunters in China have unearthed what looks like the final resting place of an adult dinosaur with 34 offspring. The unique discovery shows that at least some dinosaurs cared for their young after they hatched out, and suggests that the parental instincts of present-day birds and reptiles such ascrocodiles may have a common evolutionary precursor.
Righto... moving on, Yeah I'm sure that Dinos have instincts like many other animals, but just think of the instincts that would require some sort of guidence which humans wouldn't be able to help out with... /wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

The Link I gave earlier is only a brief summary....

Now who is to say they can't be trained, I've seen some very stupid animals take commands, birds take commands and I'm sure many were smart enough to do that.Deepu_ravi wrote:i don't think they can be tamed, simply because i think they don't have the intelligence like other mammals to grasp what we teach them.
When all is said and done and the world is empty how much does it really matter the amount of money you had or what car you drove?
Yeah man, I agree!
Just 'cause they look stupid, doesn't mean they are!

Have you heard of, I think it was "Koko the Gorilla"? Or something like that anyway... it learnt how to communicate to humans with sign language.
Also, Dogs, we've been able to tame them well.
Lions, yep, we have been able to tame 'em too!
Doliphins... yep, them too....
Birds, such as falcons, owls, parrots, we've ALSO BEEN ABLE TO TAME THEM!
Now go through that little list, you gotta admit that not all of these animals seem 'smart', but look at what WE HUMANS have been able to teach them! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> lol!
Anyway, I think we may be able to train SOME dinos to do SOME things? I mean, sure imagine taming a Raptor? Seems impossible right?
Well, according to SOME scientists, Velociraptor were pretty smart, this is judging by the cavity in its skull which holds the brain. Rescently, Scientists have been able to scan the insides of these dino skulls, and determine that these dinos were more than what they appeared to be.
Raptors, for example:
They were capable to organise some form of hunting technique. If they were able to do something like this, it means that they were able to commuincate throughout the pack well. To do this, they needed some sort of 'language'. Now, as you know, language takes up a big part of any creatures brain. It does show that Raptors were 'smart' enough to do things like this (this example can also be seen throughout the JP movies too).
So, whats wrong with the concept of Dinos being smart enough to be tamed?
