Naturally, it’s Ankylosaurus. Just look at this armoured tactical turtle and tell me you do not love this silly little guy!
Just wanting to eat his plants. Wanna gnaw on him? Tough luck, it hurts and you cannot crack that shell. Also, he will fucking break your kneecaps with his built-in hammer while you’re bothering him.
Spirit animal.
Therazinosaurus. What even is this thing? Look at this big pokey boi:
I grew up with this even weirder reconstruction:
For a second I thought you’re saying that you grew up with this guy lol
Yeah, we had a Spanish class together in 9th grade.
Erasmus?
They’re so doofy. I love them.

Tickle chicken!! This guy is my favorite second only to true dilophosaur which was much larger than the Jurassic park depiction and probably didn’t have the frill or acid spit because it was the largest predator in it’s area.
Looks like a herbivore who discovered a love for really fresh ham.
What if those giant claws were webbed and it was actually some kind of weird prehistoric duck waddling around everywhere.
I mean is this really necessary.
Triceratops. The only thing wrong with rhinos are that they have too few horns and not enough armor plating.
There was a monoceratops. Hell, there were ceratopsians who didn’t have horns at all.
I like the triceratops. Having three pointy bits makes it 50% more awesome than rhinos.
Unicorns are even lower on the list then?
Yes, and lets not get started on regular horses.
Still beats the stupid long horse…
Just wait until you hear about
StyrofoamosaurusStyracosaurus!
There any love here for Icthyosaurus?
Just looks like a big derpy lemony shaped dolphin, with a snoot that 76% more boopable.
Very awesome animals, but I don’t think these are technically dinos.
Diplodocus
Spinosaurus.
Because it stymies paleontologists seemingly every time one of them tries to figure it out.
Jurassic Park III was where I first noticed them and started learning. One of the scarier dinosaurs from any of those movies.
Pachycephalosaurus the thick headed one
The head knocking matches those things must have had within their species would have been insane! Like goats, only like, a hundred goats per goat.
Edit: Apparently, they were not that big, so maybe only like two handfuls of goats. Which is still a lot of goats.
Wonder if there were fainting Pachycephalosaurs. :)
I always thought they’d sound like coconuts when they rammed together.
Could I interest you in a Micropachycephalosaurus? It’s like a Pachycephalosaurus, but fun sized!
I always appreciate a smaller sized version of my favorites
I bet these things probably had some really cool brain protection similar to how today’s woodpeckers do.
Woodpeckers use their tongue for padding. I’m always in wonder when I hear one go off, sounds like a Warthog laying down fire.
I have a few.
By far the frontrunner is Parasaurolophus. Hadrosaurs are cool, Lambeosaurid Hadrosaurs are cooler. Not to besmirch my boy Edmontosaurus tho. The biggest Hadrosaur is also on my list.
I am also a big fan of the Borealopelta. This is a Nodosaurid Ankylosaur, meaning it has shoulder spikes instead of a tail club. I like this guy because of the story of its discovery, as well as the fantastic display at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Also helps that it’s the most intact armored dino ever found.
Finally there is the Regaliceratops. Like a Triceratops, but with a super fun crown!
Yes! I have always loved the parasaurolophus!
Parasaurolophus gang unite!
I do enjoy them but I’m a bad gamer (I only play one game consistently). I added it to my wishlist to check out when it’s on sale. Thanks for the info!
The lad with the thagomizer. Because of the thagomizer.
Stegosaurs! For those who don’t know how the name came about, look it up if you’d like a chuckle.
Stegosaurus. Cant beat the classic. Though Iguanodon is close second.
There is a company called Stego Industries that has a Stegosaurus as their logo. Sounds cool, right? Wrong! They are awful. They make plastic liners that go below concrete slabs, so under the whole building. STEGOSAURUS MEANS ROOF LIZARD!!! The only construction product worthy of the Stego name should be shingles >:[
Faith in everything destroyed.
Stegosaurus is pretty great, I was always a fan of them, especially their thagomizers.
enanthiornes, the “opposite birds” that are not related to the birds as we know it.
Chicken ofc 🍗
You gave the correct answer. Done.
Ankylosaurus is a strong contender. Really strong contender. But stegosaurus is still MVP.
Sauropods because BIG
But really, I mean look at those things!! They traveled together in herds and the size of them meant that as they walked, the strata of the earth was fucking shuffled. How cool is that???
Technically not a dinosaur but a Pterosaur, but still, Quetzalcoatlus https://dino.fandom.com/wiki/Quetzalcoatlus.
Would make my morning commute way more fun.
Quetzalcoatlus gets my vote as scariest creature to have ever lived. If one landed in my yard and saw me through the window, decided it wanted in, it is getting in.
I could maybe prevail with the 12-gauge sitting here, but I wouldn’t bet on it. By the time I got over the shock of seeing it, the thing would crash it’s head through my front window and snatch me. Betting one could hammer through the roof given a couple of minutes.
Outdoors? Pretty much zero hope. Long beak, flies, moves fast, morals of a seagull? Yikes.
