I think both have their advantages and drawbacks.

    A t-rex that is the only one of its kind and will be treated as a commodity like King Kong and will definitely be killed by humans, or a spider who can mate and live life and be ignored by humans? Hmmm, I wonder.

    Tarantula are exceedingly, almost comically fragile. If you sneeze toward one they basically explode. God forfend you drop or rattle one.

    I’d go for the T-Rex just for reasons of durability. I’m too clumsy to live as a tarantula.

        That’s not great but the guy above you reckons you’d die quickly, due to not having enough air.

        After a night of fitful dreams, Gregor Samsa awoke in his bed transformed entirely into a gigantic Tyrannosaurus rex. His sister had him in a zoo or something by noon.

        The end?

    Wait, is this an interview?

    I’d be… uh… a t-rex… because, uh… I’m not afraid to… uh… take initiative?

    If it’s T-Rex in present day no thank you. You would die a painful quick death due to not having enough air to breath even at sea level.

    That’s a tough one… if I choose T-rex, do I live in the cretaceous, or in the present ? do I roam free, or am I encaged ? am I fed goats, or lawyers ?

    Same questions regarding the Tarantula
