I just want to say that anyone who picks pterodactyl, ichthyosaurus, or mosasaurus as their favourite dinosaurs is wrong because none of those are dinosaurs.
Having said that, I like triceratops, which isn't on the list for some reason. I guess I'll pick styracosaurus since it's similar.
I haven’t checked in a while but I THOUGHT it was believed triceratops is now just a juvenile other dinosaur
That was news to me. The wiki for Torosaurus is a deep rabbit hole, and since fossilization is rare and we have to go with what little we can find, this will probably be a long debate either way.
With that being said, whatever the name, three horn dino is best dino! And weird that the meme wouldn't have one on there, since it has always been a well known dinosaur in movies and toys.
I know it's been debated back and forth with a lot of the ceratopsian dinosaurs. Torosaurus was the one they think/thought is the adult version of a triceratops. I'm not sure where the consensus stands now though.
Consensus is probably not.
My favorite dinosaur is Plesiosaurus.
What are you gonna do about it? >:)
"raptor"
There's more than one kind of raptor, buddy. Also why doesn't the raptor have feathers? If you're gonna mush all the raptors together into a single species, at least draw the feathers. This is offensive to theropods around the world as it turns us into a homogeneous, featherless caricature.
Also why are pterodactyls even here? They're pterosaurs, not dinosaurs
The same for the aquatic reptiles.
Also, bring my giganantossaurus!
Same here! Giganotosaurus and Argentinosaurus are the ones I would have picked
Oh here we go - bring in the pterosaur shills!1!
;)
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
I see you have a bit of spitfire left over. Please sit in this cubicle over here and adult for just a little while longer.
I think “ankylosaurus” is misspelled. The only reason I know that is because it has always been my favorite dinosaur.
"Iguanadon" (my favourite) and "Coelophysis" are also mispelled
👍👍 Two thumbs up for iguanodon.
Same, and I was getting concerned when I got halfway down the list and I didn't see it yet. I've always liked the pterodactyl as well, because it's basically the closest we'll get to a wyvern.
Represent!
No Triceratops? Yeah, I gonna need to speak to a manager on this one...
We only have tricera-bottoms here.
I’ll pick the Stegosaurus… but only because the Triceratops is conspicuously absent from this chart.
(Secret fighter menu?)
3 of those aren’t dinosaurs, but I would go with the mosasaur. Giant sea snake that ruled the oceans.
Stegosaurus!
My people are here!
Love the thagomizers.
They're my second favorite thing that pokes out from a stegosaurus!
Ankilosaurus.
Because nothing says antisocial quite like bony back armor and a big ass hammer.
One of us! One of us!
Stegosaurus has spikes on its back
to keep away predators trying to attack.
He protecc
He attacc
He got spikes on his bacc
(Plus I bet he talks like Eeyore)
I've said it before and I'll say it again: parasaurolophus is the choice dino
Where the HELL is my triceratops?
Gonna need this reworked to include pachycephalosaurus.
Carnotaurus, because it's like a T-Rex's edgier cousin.
*hornier
Diplodocus just for the name. Either pronunciation is amazing (DIPLO-dockus, di-PLOD-ocus) and I love it
Has been and always will be stegosaurus. How can you not love those bone plates and spiked tail? Dude's a beast.
That said, ankylosaurus comes in at a close second. It's armor is pretty boss.
Allosaurus!
Brachiosaurus is my guy
I think you mean 'pick your favourite dinosaur... for today'.
It's Stegosaurus. How could it not be Stegosaurus?
Ayo, where's my boy triceratops at‽
iguanadone since childhood
Parasaurolopus because of Land Before Time.
Ankylosaurs please. Give me an armor plated tank with a built in beat stick that could knock a midsized car several feet with a single swing.
If we are going ancient life in general I will always pick Dunkleosteus. A swimming arrangement of thick bone plates the size of a medium bus with a set of Jaws of Life (Death?) for a mouth. The damn thing could slice through or crush literally anything in the ancient oceans and shallow seas. If it weren't for the Hangenberg event Sharks and Orca would definitely be having some competition.
I’ma go with Allosaurus on account of the epic Mohawk
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
