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.
argentinosaurus. Largest land animal to have ever existed. That's my favourite dinosaur.
Falco peregrinus, a small carnivorous dinosaur that preys mainly on other dinosaurs—which it strikes and kills in midair with its claws.
I love chickens.
Tastysaurus
Pterodactyl and its not even close lol.
Its like, dinosaurs are cool, but you know what's cooler? Dinosaurs that can fly
Pterodactyl. And now I have the dinosaur train theme stuck in my head. 🦖
Spinosaurus until the end.
Legit crying that no one has said spinosaurus yet
Stego is in my top 5. 👍
Liopleurodon.
That would be Mongolian Titanosaur for me. The bastard's massive.
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.
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
Crocodiles are mine. The Crocodilia order they're from survived 94 million years; they even survived the K-T event. They're some of the few creatures and probably the only legit dinos left that survived from back then. They're the closest living relatives to birds.
(I don't know if people want to debate whether crocodiles can be classified as dinosaurs, but I consider them as such)
There were some really dinosaur-like crocodiles, too. Shuvosaurus and poposaurus, for example.
But for whatever reason, they decided to define dinosaurs to exclude pterosaurs and crocodiles; they're the closest relatives of dinosaurs but are still relatives and not actual dinos.
Birds, though, are legit dinosaurs.
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
All the avian ones.
are you talking avian dinosaurs or current birds that have descended from dinosaurs? or both?
"Avian dinosaurs" is current birds. The term "non-avian dinosaurs" is often used specifically to refer to what the casual person is usually thinking of when they hear the word "dinosaur".
Probably dino. He was a good boy.
Steggy all the way!
Mine's Stegosaurus too! Hello buddy!
Therizinosaurus gang, rise up!
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!
Hard to choose.
