  • My favorite for some time has been Microraptor. It's a crow-sized not-bird with glossy black wing feathers on both its wings and its legs (hindwings), for biplane action!

    For meme purposes, I'm fond of the liopleurodon, which isn't a dinosaur.

  • Ankylosaurus. One of my kids was a dinosaur kid and used to ask if I thought ankylosaurus could beat tyrannosaurus in a fight and I said of course, you can't bite through his back. He would then say the T-Rex would just flip the ankylosaurus over and eat him. This entire exercise was after he had internalized that "Dad's favorite dinosaur is the ankylosaurus" and I think it was directly because of that.

  • I love the spinosaurs despise all the changes,

    I also like the mapusaurs

    • Spinos are neat! I think thr modern image is pretty cool too. Picturing dinos in general more as animals cause they were just that instead if thinking of how cool they'd be as movie monsters is so much more fun to think about. Spinosaurus is a great example. So much cooler to think of things like that wading around and chomping huge fishies

  • I like the guys with the club tails. Otherwise my favorite dinosaurs are the things that technically aren't, like plesiosaurs, crocodiles, and icthyosaurs.

  • The ankylosaur clade is my fave Euphocephalus is my fave from that.

    But I really really gotta hand it to Triceratops. I don't think people get how badass they were. Dirt_owl has common faves. I like Baryonyx as well, they were just like...the workhorse predator of the cretaceous. No flash, pretty good at the job but not doing T Rex shit. Just a neat dude. And also non JPark velociraptors with the Intel we have now are cool af in a different way. Half bird of prey half mountain goat
