After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that's sad.
My current one's the Anchiornis, because it's in the same clade as birds so it's in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked very birb-y:
(Figured I'd just turn an earlier comment into an actual post because why not)
Parasaurolophus. I just think they're kinda neat and kinda cute.
Aside from that, pretty much any raptor. (I am not a paleontologist, I mostly just mean anything with feathers)
They've recently discovered that their large nasal cavities could have been used to make a tuba like noise
Oh yeah somebody else had Parasaurolophus as their fave too earlier, and they (well, the reconstructions anyhow) really do look super cute. Dinocows!
Argentinosaurus. Biggest Tree Star eater ever. I think it would be the coolest thing ever to like, mount a dwelling on its back, live on and take care of it.
Iguanodon.
Where it all started.
A big thumbs up to that
Earl Sinclair.
Euoplocephalus, because I like me some ank memes, but I wanna be special.
If we included pterosaurs, then anurognathus, because look at him!
Kiwis! They look so unusual and almost mammal like, and on top of this they're absolutely adorable little birbs!
Ha, great answer! Kiwis are definitely strange birbs, they sort of feel more ancient than your regular average tiny dinosaurs
I like budgies <3 💚💚💚💛💜
Oof tough question. I've always had a soft spot for Parasaurolophus and deinonychosaurians.
If I have to pick a favorite among the heavy carnivores though, I'll be torn between Carnotaurus and Giganotosaurus.
Ahh the Giganotosaurus, giving good 'ol t-rex a run for their money when it comes to size.
tricerytops
Probably the dinosaurus
It's always been Allosaurus
Team allosaurus too! I recently got to see this one:
