T-rex could outrun David Beckham, according to new computer models.
So, which extinct species would you want on your soccer team?

Scientists using computer models calculated the top speeds for five meat-eating dinosaurs in a study they say can also illustrate how animals cope with climate change and extinction.
oh Please.
"Jones! Smith! What the hell are you 2 giggling about!? and WHY do you have a simulation of David Beckham racing against dinosaurs!? This is company time godammit!"

Velociraptors, naturally.
I think you can import them from The Republic of Suriname.

I'd want a Smilodon on my team for the speed and aggressiveness.

Shouldn't that be the paleontological rapist?

Well therapist is simply "the rapist", I'm assuming the space was a typo.

This study helps to build a biological picture that scientists can use to better understand how dinosaurs adapted to changes in the weather just before they went extinct.
Or not, in their case.
Yes, I think they found it difficult to outrun meteors, or climate change, or Baptists.

Those Baptists!

I would imagine that no species can survive extinction, sorta by definition.

What if they pull the ol' Jurassic Park? Wouldn't that count as surviving extinction? Or what if by some bizarre sci-fi futuristic event we find an extinct species on another planet and bring some back?

Well yes... but what they are looking at is how they adapted to climate change BEFORE they went extinct.
In general it's also relevant to look at species who survived "Mass Extinction Events". Several times in the Earth's history 95% of all species alive on the planet at the time have suddenly gone extinct. Massive meteor impacts, or continent spanning volcanic eruptions, or other catalysts have brought about global catastrophes... or just precipitated massive, fast, climate change, that has successfully wiped out most life on Earth.
Best to know what to do, and what not to do, in exciting situations like that.
Oh and Samira, LOVE the thread title!

Right.
So, running around faster than Beckham, bad!
Being a cockroach underground, good!
Now I feel prepared for the next giant meteorite to hit the Earth.
I think the real question is could T-Rex put up with Victoria Beckham?
I think not.
I think not.

He wouldn't, cos he's a 20th Century boy, and she's a 21st Century bitCh.
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock and roll...

True, true. So we should imitate sharks, crocodiles and coelcanths as much as possible.
