what's more dangerous: zombies or raptors?

Sign in to disble this ad
i know some people are all up with this zombie apocalypse idea, but wouldn't an outbreak of prehistoric predators like velociraptors be more dangerous? think about it: zombies are slow and rather fragile, while raptors are quick (cheetah speed) and cunning (problem solving).

.... on the other hand zombies have numbers on their side, and every human they take down becomes one of their own.

vs.

Million dollar movie idea. Except you have to line the theaters with plastic to protect the crazy carpet form vomit, urine, feces,etc.

or not. if you accept max brooks' zombies as the zombies then zombie flesh is poisonous and animals avoid it.

either way both will eat humans...

Are we talking slow moving zombies or unreal, fast, nightmarish zombies?
Are we talking regular raptors or raptors that shoot lasers out of their eyes?

I had more problems with the raptors in Turok than with the zombies in Left4Dead, so raptors. Zombie apocalypse > raptor apocalypse

I think this can be settled by one fact:

Raptors can open doors.

Have you ever seen a zombie open a door? Me neither.

In that case don't you mean:

Zombie apocalypse < raptor apocalypse

But, Raptors don't turn your friends, family and fellow survivors into raptors!

right, but Zombies know not what they do...their "rage" is a byproduct of hellish fever and an enlarged swollen brain driving them to "madness", and real base-level urge, like hunger.......a Raptor on the other hand...

their sole m.o. is KILL-FOOD. That's it. While zombie flesh may be poisonous, ain't no stoppin the Raptor from taking them down anyway.

This may be true, but if you get into a numbers game, zombie growth will be exponential, however raptors could possibly be killed off quicker.

Zombie T-rex's is where it's at

Zombies are more dangerous. In the event of a raptor attack, the raptor will attack then eat human flesh until it's had its fill. It will then go rest (and most likely make #2). Zombies crave human brains non-stop. They are never satiated and never sleep.

In a fight, zombies would totally PWN raptors!!1!!1!!!one!!1!!!

depends. Raptors can understand they have to kill zombies by cutting them into peaces without eating their flesh, and will no eat it. If they understand that, it's the end of zombies.

right. but human teeth ain't nothin against a raptor's hide. and since they are pack animals by nature (speculated) they would have "watchers" on the lookout....and they camouflage well too...Zombies are more line-of-sight to their target, and therefore have HUGE blind spot vulnerabilities....ain't NO group of Zombies taking one down mano-a-rapto either. too damn strong and fast.
