What is your favorite Dinosaur?

[Toad-1]

Tyranasaurus Rex

Triceratops

Stegasauras

Brachiosaurus

Velociraptor

Plesiosaurus

Other Dinosaurs (please tell us)

[nfigure]

Ahh so hard to choose! xD I loved dinosaurs growing up. I like them all (although Plesiosaurus is actually just a marine reptile, and not a dinosaur :P )!

If forced to choose, I'd have to say BRACHIOSAURUS, I suppose. It was the first model of a dinosaur I ever got, way back when I was 6 years old. It is a cool model of the skeleton; I still have it actually! Looks like this:

And of course it was the first dinosaur that we all saw in full in Jurassic Park when it came out (while the raptor at the beginning was only shown in flashes). It was a time when most audiences didn't yet know about CGI and what it could do, lol. Everybody back in 1993 felt almost like they were seeing real dinosaurs onscreen:

I'm torn between Placoderms (armor fish) since it looks cute to me.

And Mosasaurus because it was a tiny little lizard and then it became this huge beast.

thanks :)

I lvoe Brachiosaurus because of Mrs. Doubtfire, but my favorite one is Plesiosaurus - out of these. The sea is fascinating and all of the creatures in it.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Plesiosaurus wasn't a dinosaur.

[LittleSally]

@Ad_Quid_Orator Then what was it?

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Another group of reptiles. However there were (and still are) see living dinosaurs.

[LittleSally]

@Ad_Quid_Orator Which group do they belong in then? If not the dinosaurs?
(since they also existed in the Jurrasic period...)

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Well not all reptiles that existed during the Jurassic were dinosaurs. Plesiosaurus belonged to a group called "plesiosaurs" along with the short necked pliosaurs. The exact position of plesiosuars in the reptile family tree is uncertain.

[LittleSally]

@Ad_Quid_Orator Why are they certain other big reptiles of that time priod are considered dinosaurs, but not these? Not because they're underwater creatures, surely, since you said there are underwater dinosaurs. This is a bit confusing here... What makes them different?

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Dinosaurs are a clade of animals that share a number of characteristics passed down from a common ancestor that all dinosaurs evolved from and plesiosaurs did not. You might as well ask why crocodiles aren't called dinosaurs (crocodiles were alive in the Jurassic as well). There were marine dinosaurs like hesperornis but they didn't evolve until the cretaceous.

[LittleSally]

@Ad_Quid_Orator Hmmm, interesting. That makes sense. Thank you! =)

[JudgmentDay]

Probably all of the Dinozords from the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers!

Or the Dinosaurs from "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs":

Post-Apocalyptic Earth with Dinosaurs.

But on a more serious note I think I'd honestly prefer thosee more gentler vegetarian "herbivore" type of dinosaurs. If they were real, then I wouldn't mind having one as a pet lol as I think meat eaters would probably just eat me even if I tried to befriend them and raise them as pets.

Are there any really smart and intelligent herbivore dinos that survive longer than other dinos that quickly become a meal for the more vicious meat eaters?

[Prof_Don]

I like the Compsognathus, aka the Compy. Damn little things were the gangxtas of the dinosaur world!

Nymphicus hollandicus

FYI the plesiosaurus isn't a dinosaur.

[Scrambledagain]

Utahraptor. Fascinating. Unlike the dog sized velociraptor, the Utahraptor were apparently bigger than the raptors depicted on Jurassic park

I was also a big fan of a torosaurus. Like a smaller triceratops but with a longer head. Oh kentrosaurus too. Like a spikier yet smaller type of stegosaurus.

Fuck that meme just brightened my day ha ha

[Pac-Man]

@Scrambledagain glad to hear man!

[LadyTerror]

Plesiosauruses are technically not dinosaurs. It's not even a single species but a sub-group of water reptiles.

Anyway, my answers are Spinosaurus and Gigantosaurus

[Toad-1]

Smarty pants :p

[LadyTerror]

I love dinosaurs :D

[dragonfly6516]

Raptors all the way!!! They're still my favorite animals of today as well. (birds of prey such as hawks, eagles, and falcons are raptors as well)

[carolann1920]

The ones I like best were the ones King Kong beat the crap out of in the King Kong movie. They really were a bunch of bad arse boys

Barney, the purple dinosaur who love singing with children

[JudgmentDay]

LOL, I remember Barney the dinosaur.

[skaikrasha]

Brachiosaurus ❤ Fell in love with it watching The Land Before Time when I was a kid.

[nfigure]

Littlefoot! :D Part 1 is still one of my all-time favorite animated movies.

[skaikrasha]

@nfigure He's such a cutiepie.

[WillowTree]

Don't have a fave. I prefer meateaters overall though.

What does a dinosaur taste like? I pick the tastiest!

[posted]

Gigantosaurus is pretty cool.
Or Quetzalsaurus with a 10m wingspan.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Quetzo wasn't a dinosaur.

[Saoirse_Nua]

I think I will go C - Stegasauras, the others have seemed to all the limelight

[ogutbomb]

Donald Trump. That is the time he lives in and his knowledge levels probably match that of a dinosaur.

[Triss]

Stegasaurus with that extra small head that would fit my top perfectly 😂

[nfigure]

Top? :o What do you mean lol

[Triss]

@nfigure my top is something similar with this lol
Which I wear only for working out
djfsu7re0nxn3.cloudfront.net/.../...30-BLACK-a.jpg

[nfigure]

A stegosaurus on a work-out top? :o lol that would be unusual, but also funny and cool! :D

[Triss]

@nfigure lol I just said that for fun bcs his head is so small haha

[nfigure]

lol scientists used to believe that because it's head was so small, it must have had a second brain near its butt to help it control its whole body. xD

[Triss]

@nfigure 😂😂😂😂 a brain in the button lmaoo

[Triss]

Butt*

[nfigure]

LOL needless to say, it has since been proven false. :P Even with its one small brain, Stegosaurus managed to live for millions of years: longer than humans have so far! So it did alright. :D

[Anonymous]

Ankylosaurus. Since like 4 years old, it has been my fave.

[Waffles731]

Deinonychus
AKA,
What the Velociraptors from the Jurassic Park series actually are

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Actually it was more likely Achillobator

[Waffles731]

@Ad_Quid_Orator
That seems too big
Also both Steven Spielberg and Michael Crichton have pointed out that they purposefully used Deinonychus and called it a velociraptor

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Well, if you look at the movie the raptors were about as tall as the humans while Deinonychus was 4ft at the head. But I still thank that they should have given them feathers.

[Waffles731]

@Ad_Quid_Orator
Thats just because its easier to measure,
Spielberg is notorious for that
Take the staff scene in Raiders of the lost ark,
If we are to take that scene at face value, that implies that Indiana jones is about five feet tall,
His actual height is over six feet

[Waffles731]

@Ad_Quid_Orator
Notice how the raptors in the movies weren't that long

[geraya-sansey]

Triceratops, because it's vegetarian and we can ride it may be :)

[hotstuffSRD]

Barney 😍
Whenever I see a pic of T-Rex it reminds me of that push up thing 😂 LOL

[mooky06]

I like the triceratops the most

[Toad-1]

like to see you ride one. Jungle Mooky ohh yeah! ;)

[mooky06]

Lmfao! It would feel weird.. but i think i can put a saddle on and still ride one! I bet it'd be like riding a scaley Camel XP
