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.
My favorite dinosaur is Plesiosaurus.
What are you gonna do about it? >:)
I haven’t checked in a while but I THOUGHT it was believed triceratops is now just a juvenile other dinosaur
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.
Consensus is probably not.
- We don’t have transition forms
- We probably have young Torosaurs (which are not Triceratops)
- Holes in the skull would have to form atypically late for ceratopsidae
- some other stuff I forgot
I’ll pick the Stegosaurus… but only because the Triceratops is conspicuously absent from this chart.
(Secret fighter menu?)
I think “ankylosaurus” is misspelled. The only reason I know that is because it has always been my favorite dinosaur.
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.
Pterodactyl is also not a dinosaur but this list is just for the lols anyway 😄
“Iguanadon” (my favourite) and “Coelophysis” are also mispelled
👍👍 Two thumbs up for iguanodon.
Represent!
No Triceratops? Yeah, I gonna need to speak to a manager on this one…
We only have tricera-bottoms here.
“raptor”
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.
Also why are pterodactyls even here? They’re pterosaurs, not dinosaurs
Oh here we go - bring in the pterosaur shills!1!
;)
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
The same for the aquatic reptiles.
Also, bring my giganantossaurus!
Same here! Giganotosaurus and Argentinosaurus are the ones I would have picked
I see you have a bit of spitfire left over. Please sit in this cubicle over here and adult for just a little while longer.
Where the HELL is my triceratops?
Gonna need this reworked to include pachycephalosaurus.
3 of those aren’t dinosaurs, but I would go with the mosasaur. Giant sea snake that ruled the oceans.
Diplodocus just for the name. Either pronunciation is amazing (DIPLO-dockus, di-PLOD-ocus) and I love it
I call they dippy docus.
Its wrong, but love the name
Love that, will be adopting!
Stegosaurus!
My people are here!
Love the thagomizers.
They’re my second favorite thing that pokes out from a stegosaurus!
Wh00t wh00t
I’ve always loved chickens.
Birds are dinosaurs in the way tomatoes are fruits
I think you mean ‘pick your favourite dinosaur… for today’.
It’s Stegosaurus. How could it not be Stegosaurus?
Steggo gang, reporting in.
Ankilosaurus.
Because nothing says antisocial quite like bony back armor and a big ass hammer.
One of us! One of us!
Has been and always will be stegosaurus. How can you not love those bone plates and spiked tail? Dude’s a beast.
That said, ankylosaurus comes in at a close second. It’s armor is pretty boss.
Ayo, where’s my boy triceratops at‽
