What is your favourite dinosaur?

wish i knew more about species we have discovered. There a lot of prehistoric beasts that make me fascinated as hell. I know I really like the Giants from South America and stuff.
 
My 10 year old asks me this question as least once a week. She knows more about them than I ever did.
 
well if you wanna go in deep, our lineage goes from mammal to reptile to amphibian to lunged fish and so on until we get to the first vertebrate which was an aquatic worm with a spine. My point is that dinosaurs were never our direct ancestors- they branched off well before that.

The dinosaurs we regularly talk about are not our direct ancestor, but we have a very dinosaur like, if not like enough to call a dinosaur, ancestor.
 
I don’t know if this counts but there was an ancient animal called the Titanoboa which was a giant dinosaur eating snake. They were 50 feet long.

Allosaurus was pretty bad ass

and the dinosaur that killed newman from seinfeld too
 
What kinda bandwagon poseur picks T rex, the oversized cowardly scavenger, when you could at least pick something cool and actually capable of being a predator like Allosaurus or Spinosaurus. T Rex fans are like Brock fans, he's been exposed long ago and now out matched by anyone with the least bit rounded skillset.
T.rex being a scavenger is a stupid ass theory that has been debunked a long time ago. Matter of fact, T.rex was probably the biggest and baddest land predator that ever lived. Granted, it wasn't as fast as the smaller meat eating dinosaurs, but it was ridiculously bulky and strong, with absurdly good vision and a relatively large brain for such a big theropod. Another interesting thing is that despite being the heaviest meat eater, it was actually more agile than other large theropods in the same size range, such as Giganotosaurus or Spinosaurus.

T.rex is awesome.

Allosaurus of course, T-Rex is for the stupid and fat kids who can't tell the difference between an actual Apex-Hunter and a fat Scavenger with short arms and hip-problems. Also liked Styraco-, Elasmosaurus and Dimetrodon.
Ur mum is a stupid fat kid.

Yeah, Titanoboa is freaking amazing. So many prehistoric creatures were just so much bigger and scarier than their current counterparts.

Imagine a 40 ft crocodile that weighs 18000 lbs or so. Makes a salty look like a children's toy.

Ya but Steve Irwin would be it’s worst nightmare
 
T Rex is where it’s at and all the cool kids know this.

What kid wants to play with a Brontosaurus (lulz) Over a T-Rex.

Triceratops was always one cool dude too
Yeah even though I know its a cliche answer its hard for me to not say T-rex when asked this question.

If I had to pick another dinosaur Utah raptor would be one to come to mind.

There are so many cool and weird dinosaurs it’s hard to wrap your head around.

I like when people make digital dinosaur art and they add nice colors and feathers to the creatures too.
