Escape Pod 840: The Tyrant Lizard (and Her Plus One) / Alien Invader or Assistive Device?
About this episode
The Tyrant Lizard (and Her Plus One)
By John Wiswell
Dinosaurs don’t want to kill you; they just don’t care that you’re there. More people have been sat on by brontosauruses than have been eaten by all the theropods combined. Since I joined security on the archipelago, 82% of dinosaur-related human casualties were from tourists who got too close during mating season. And the four times I’ve seen a deinonychus attack someone, they’ve always left them uneaten. Why? For the same reason bears and sharks tend to leave victims alive: because humans taste like shit.
