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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Seeing dinosaurs like this always makes me wonder: had they not been extinct, where would life in Earth be nowadays? Which one would have taken a similar evolutionary path as humans and start walking entirely upright? Which would have started utilising their surroundings to their advantage like humans?
