    Say there was a portal that allowed you to go back in time and you decided to move to the past. When and where would you go?

    I'd choose Late Pleistocene North America just so I could see the amazing animals of this time and place, and it's more familiar to modern times. Or I'd head to South America during that same time just to see a group of Smilodon Populator.

    I'm a bit torn, so I'll say two among which I'd decide with a coin toss;
    - Early Jurassic (Toarcian) England, during the golden age of the ichthyosaurs and the rise of the plesiosaurs. I'd do anything to swim among those amazing marine reptiles... (in an orca-proof cage mind you)
    - Late Jurassic Morrison formation, at the height of its biodiversity. Seeing so many sauropods, theropods and so many other dinosaurs interact in the same environment would be absolute bliss.
