Where's my ankylosaurus gang at?
Me! Always thought that club was badass
Badass club, badass spikes, badass plates, AND a vegetarian? What a spectacular specimen.
Yo, me too! Though as a kid I thought it was anklyosaurus, and somehow related to ankles.
Unless we're allowed to include extant dinosaur species. In which case the bush stone-curlew is my fav. ❤️ those adorable screemy bois.
Definitely ankle related. Think how it can shatter ankles with that tail.

When my wife drives and we come to a complete stop, if the car next to me has their window down I usually try to ask them their favorite dinosaur. So far only one person has gotten really mad at me, most people just get confused.
How dare you bother me in public! /s
You mainly do it to amuse your wife don't you, you delightful mischievous bastard.
Why isn’t this trending on TikTok?
Triceratops was always my fav.
Horn gang represent!
There's dozens of us (if you count lurkers)
Feathered T-Rex. The theory is that those useless little arms are actually supposed to be wings makes more sense. Do they fly? No, and neither do ostriches. Probably glide tho.
One idea is that T Rex arms were used to latch onto prey. Their arms were short, but very muscular.
The would have been about as useful for gliding as a rear spoiler on a car.
I like the idea that their feather ratio would be more like a chicken or a turkey... and they would just be there absolutely chonky birds...
Probably glide tho.
Something way back in my ancestry just cowered deep in a hole and I felt it.
tyrannosaurs didn't have the advanced feathers seen on birds, so it wouldn't be possible for them to have wings
Brontosaurus. Just a gigantic chill dude.
I don't know....After watching Primal, I can never look at a Bronto the same way again....
chickens are definitely my favourite dinosaur, tastiest one plus they lay big eggs.
Found the guy who never ate fried microraptor wings.
yet to find it in local stores sadly, and i'm unwilling to order food online.
Ankylosaurus, give me a living tank with a club for a tail that could likely damage a real tank.
Another Anky vote here!
Club-Style thagomizer club represent!
Archaeopteryx
It is to our understanding of dinosaur & avian evolution what Lucy is to our understanding of human evolution. Also it looks cool.
I like Allosaurs.
I like someosaurs.
I like dinosaurus
Oh hell yeah!
Allosaurus had a lot to like. Great choice
Diplodocus, because I love the name
Do you say Dip-lod-o-kuss or Dip-low-dock-uss?
This is why we have the IPA
Triceratops people hold strong!
Growing up is learning your favorite dinosaur isn't actually a dinosaur. (mine was pterodactyl)
Growing up is learning your favorite bird is a dinosaur
Ravens.
Hey, I'm technically more correct than everyone who chose dimetrodon, pterosaurs, plesiosauroidea, or crocodilians.
Corvids are particularly awesome.
I always like pterodactyls, specifically the classic big lizard ones. I do have a tiny Dimetrodon in my pc case though that I got out of a crane machine.
That moment when someone mentions something and it brings back old memories. I had a big pterodactyl as a kid, sold as a plastic model kit to assemble. Had it hanging from the ceiling for years, and had long forgotten it.
I did the wood skeleton dinosaur models. I had a few of them as a kid and might do a few now.
Pterodactyls are terrifying. Good choice!
Pterrifying
I married a Dactyl and they’re the best anything in the ever.
I would genuinely rather hear what everyone's favorite dinosaur is, than who their favorite sports team is. Yet, society thinks I should care whole lot about the latter...
Deinonychus, definitely :)
Woohoo same here since I was a tiny wee lad But also shout-out to Amargosaurus, they're pretty cool.
Mine are crows and pigeons. Those count, right?
Crow team!
As long as we are using looser definitions mine are Pleisosaurus for an aquatic, Pterodactyl for air and Brachiosaurus for land.
Ankylosaurus peeps, stand the fuck up.
Brachiosaurus because they look as some kind of fictional creature.
And they're tall bois
I'm just fascinated by the sauropods. The big ones. I'm gonna go with Supersaurus (because super! Lol)
Sci Am article on how sauropods evolved to be huge over and over again
Of all the animals ever to have roamed the planet, the iconic long-necked, long-tailed dinosaurs known as sauropods stand unrivaled. No other terrestrial creatures have come close to attaining their colossal sizes.
I love chickens.
Tastysaurus
Legit crying that no one has said spinosaurus yet
Stego is in my top 5. 👍
Spinosaurus until the end.
Pterodactyl. And now I have the dinosaur train theme stuck in my head. 🦖
argentinosaurus. Largest land animal to have ever existed. That's my favourite dinosaur.
As a child, Velociraptor, as an adult I probably wouldn't choose a velociraptor because of how deadly they are. I would probably choose a more friendly docile dinosaur but I honestly don't know what the best one would be.
Apatosaurus
That would be Mongolian Titanosaur for me. The bastard's massive.
Liopleurodon.
Iguanodon.
Because they are herbivores and are badass with their killer thumbs. Also they have funny looking faces and probably had a funny walk similar to a kangaroo.
Researches first put their thumb horns on their noses which is hilarious as well.
Iguanodon't
Quetzalcoatlus, easy.
If only Sturgeon was a dinosaur..
It is technically prehistoric, which I did not know until now. Same with coelacanths, and they're pretty damn cool.
I don't think my poor, sweet Dunkleosteus really qualifies as what people think of when they think dinosaur, either. But it turned its supportive gill arches into the world's first jawbones!
Stegosaurus was my favorite too as a kid. These days I've grown more boring ig and I would probably go with T-Rex, but Stegosaurus will always have a place in my heart too.
All the avian ones.
I named my motorcycle Sarah from The Land Before Time. Guess mine is a Triceratops. She got the name because she's punchy and Hella fast. Love you YZF-R6
Mine's Stegosaurus too! Hello buddy!
Probably dino. He was a good boy.
Steggy all the way!
Hard to choose.
Nodosaurus: (mummified then fossilized: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mummified-armored-dinosaur-makes-its-debut-1-180963311/)
Microraptor: 4 winged dinosaur
Allosaurus
ApatosaurusIf we are counting anything prehistoric from Ark as a dinosaur then Chalicotherium, if only old school Dino's then Compsognathus.
Velociraptor all the way, they could kill a T-Rex together.
Not according to the documentary Jurassic Park.
Brontosaurus!
Diplodocus. Far superior in looks to the brontosaurus
I see people listing their favourites... what is your favourite dinosaur?
I wonder if trex looked more like a with a weird face than a modern lizard.
I just think it'd be funny to see a giant version of a chicken running around doing the chicken football thing except with a cow or something.
