After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that’s sad.
My current one’s the Anchiornis, because it’s in the same clade as birds so it’s in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked very birb-y:

If the Ankylosaurus was nature going “what if tank?” then the Parasaurolophus was nature going “what if dinosaur but cow?”
