My favorite for some time has been Microraptor. It's a crow-sized not-bird with glossy black wing feathers on both its wings and its legs (hindwings), for biplane action!

For meme purposes, I'm fond of the liopleurodon, which isn't a dinosaur.

Ankylosaurus. One of my kids was a dinosaur kid and used to ask if I thought ankylosaurus could beat tyrannosaurus in a fight and I said of course, you can't bite through his back. He would then say the T-Rex would just flip the ankylosaurus over and eat him. This entire exercise was after he had internalized that "Dad's favorite dinosaur is the ankylosaurus" and I think it was directly because of that.

Ankylosaurus, the one with the anal bead tail.

DEInonychus, the dinosaur velociraptor wishes it could be.

Velociraptor is really cool in it's own right. It was like a falcon that jumped off of cliffs instead of flying. Just cause J park got s. Wrong doesn't mean they aren't still really cool.

Can I have more than one?

I like therizinosaurus, pachycephalosaurus and triceratops

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

That bit in Jurassic world 4 where trex and therizinosaurus team up and rex pushes giganotosaurus onto theri's claws and then they high five. Stupidest shit I've ever seen

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I love thar movie cause I can enjoy how absolutely stupid it is. It's amazing.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I've gotten back into being a dinosaur guy and T Rex is a legit choice. T Rex was a fucking COOL animal and the more modern Intel we have just shows it to be cooler and cooler. They absolutely deserve their name

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Triceratops. First off, they're herbivores. Second, they look really cool with horns and a beak. There's not much we know about them, but I think it's cool that their horns may have mostly been used to identify each other and they were likely quite social. I'm imagining them being something like a dinosaur version of a bison, which is incidentally my favorite mammal.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

They also fucking killed T Rexes on the regular.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Wait I fucked up and forgot about Robosaurus

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Styracosaurus. Its like extra triceratops.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

(T)ankylosaurus

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago
[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Allosaurus because they're like T-Rex but cooler and they have three fingers and they were actually predators their whole lives instead of being the Cretaceous equivalent of Yogi Bear

I love the spinosaurs despise all the changes,

I also like the mapusaurs

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Spinos are neat! I think thr modern image is pretty cool too. Picturing dinos in general more as animals cause they were just that instead if thinking of how cool they'd be as movie monsters is so much more fun to think about. Spinosaurus is a great example. So much cooler to think of things like that wading around and chomping huge fishies

Lesothosaurus

I like the guys with the club tails. Otherwise my favorite dinosaurs are the things that technically aren't, like plesiosaurs, crocodiles, and icthyosaurs.

Carnotaurus. Just very pleasing to look at with its baby arms and horns.

For carnivore, Dilophosaurus (the real one not the Jurassic Park bozo), cool crests, not too big not too small size, nice shape

For herbivore, Parasaurolophus because dang, look at that cutie. I wanna ride one and get my ears blown out by the deafening toot it may or may not have produced sans-doot

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Triceratops. They're a very good dog.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

to stop fucking around, my real fav is horsetail (Equisetum)

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

The ankylosaur clade is my fave Euphocephalus is my fave from that.

But I really really gotta hand it to Triceratops. I don't think people get how badass they were. Dirt_owl has common faves. I like Baryonyx as well, they were just like...the workhorse predator of the cretaceous. No flash, pretty good at the job but not doing T Rex shit. Just a neat dude. And also non JPark velociraptors with the Intel we have now are cool af in a different way. Half bird of prey half mountain goat
