No Triceratops? Yeah, I gonna need to speak to a manager on this one…

Where the HELL is my triceratops?

Stegosaurus!

Gonna need this reworked to include pachycephalosaurus.

Spinosaurus and Baryonyx.

Because so many people recognize the former, but we know so very little about that entire family of dinosaurs, and currently it might be one of the easier ways to get paleontologists to argue amongst each other.

For example: the graphic in the post shows Spinosaurus standing on two legs. It was probably mostly quadrapedal, standing on all fours.

It has a huge, paddle like tail, but apparently didnt have the muscles to use it like a croc or gator does.

The entire family has denser bones suggesting an aquatic life, but most of the spinosaurids have those huge back spines which dont seem to serve a known purpose and the spinal bones have room for air sacs which runs counter to the whole aquatic thing.

So to sum up, we have a heavily built, seemingly aquactic crocodile like dinosaur with teeth and jaws built for active hunting. But wouldnt be that fast on land (heavy bones and giant spines) and cant swim like a croc or gator(no muscles for that.) And it doesn’t have a long neck like a heron or pleisiosaur.

Best of all, the most complete skeleton of spinosaurus was destroyed in WW2, so we don’t even have that to work from.

Dinosaur Jr

I think you mean ‘pick your favourite dinosaur… for today’.

It’s Stegosaurus. How could it not be Stegosaurus?

Diplodocus just for the name. Either pronunciation is amazing (DIPLO-dockus, di-PLOD-ocus) and I love it

I’ve always loved chickens.

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‽

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: parasaurolophus is the choice dino

I’ma go with Allosaurus on account of the epic Mohawk

Ankylosaurs please. Give me an armor plated tank with a built in beat stick that could knock a midsized car several feet with a single swing.

If we are going ancient life in general I will always pick Dunkleosteus. A swimming arrangement of thick bone plates the size of a medium bus with a set of Jaws of Life (Death?) for a mouth. The damn thing could slice through or crush literally anything in the ancient oceans and shallow seas. If it weren’t for the Hangenberg event Sharks and Orca would definitely be having some competition.
