Yo, me too! Though as a kid I thought it was anklyosaurus, and somehow related to ankles.

Unless we're allowed to include extant dinosaur species. In which case the bush stone-curlew is my fav. ❤️ those adorable screemy bois.

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Definitely ankle related. Think how it can shatter ankles with that tail.

When my wife drives and we come to a complete stop, if the car next to me has their window down I usually try to ask them their favorite dinosaur. So far only one person has gotten really mad at me, most people just get confused.

chickens are definitely my favourite dinosaur, tastiest one plus they lay big eggs.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Found the guy who never ate fried microraptor wings.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

yet to find it in local stores sadly, and i'm unwilling to order food online.

[-] willeypete23@reddthat.com 17 points 1 year ago

Growing up is learning your favorite dinosaur isn't actually a dinosaur. (mine was pterodactyl)

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Growing up is learning your favorite bird is a dinosaur

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I'm a stegosaurus man myself.

[-] maudefi@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. I don't know what it is about them but yeah, stegosaurus are cool.

Feathered T-Rex. The theory is that those useless little arms are actually supposed to be wings makes more sense. Do they fly? No, and neither do ostriches. Probably glide tho.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 16 points 1 year ago

With wings that tiny I doubt a T-Rex was doing much gliding either, considering its size.

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Maybe falling with style? No, probably not that either.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

They Naruto run after you. Thats gotta be it lol

Ankylosaurus, give me a living tank with a club for a tail that could likely damage a real tank.

Archaeopteryx

It is to our understanding of dinosaur & avian evolution what Lucy is to our understanding of human evolution. Also it looks cool.

[-] Scarronline@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Triceratops people hold strong!

[-] technologicalcaveman@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

I always like pterodactyls, specifically the classic big lizard ones. I do have a tiny Dimetrodon in my pc case though that I got out of a crane machine.

Ravens.

Hey, I'm technically more correct than everyone who chose dimetrodon, pterosaurs, plesiosauroidea, or crocodilians.

Corvids are particularly awesome.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Apatosaurus

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

I would genuinely rather hear what everyone's favorite dinosaur is, than who their favorite sports team is. Yet, society thinks I should care whole lot about the latter...

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Brachiosaurus because they look as some kind of fictional creature.

Hard to choose.
Nodosaurus: (mummified then fossilized: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mummified-armored-dinosaur-makes-its-debut-1-180963311/)
Microraptor: 4 winged dinosaur
Allosaurus
Apatosaurus

Spinosaurus until the end.

As long as we are using looser definitions mine are Pleisosaurus for an aquatic, Pterodactyl for air and Brachiosaurus for land.

[-] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago
