"Favorite Dinosaur? (Round 1)" Topic

Diplodocus = littlefoot! so naturally the bestest dino

This poll needs many more entries. My favouries are Neovenator from the Isle of Wight and Baryonyx from my home county of Surrey – even the Natural Historu Museum has an official model of that.

The best is Triceratops of course!

Preferably one that can be domesticated and tastes good.

no pterodactiles/.

They weren't dinosaurs.

Anything with a lot of white meat.
Anything that can eat the Patriots.
Carnotaurus.
Alioramus.

In that order.

Pterodactyl.

Godzillasuarus.

We have those, they are called, chicken, turkey, geese and ducks, with honorable mention to ostrich and emu, while they are the most dino looking of aves, they aren't totaly domesticated.

Fellonmybutand Havasoraus is my favorite.

The omission of Pachycephalosaurus from this poll makes my head hurt.

isn't Deinonychus a velociraptor? Velociraptor is a family, isn't it? Like sauropods or ceratopsians?

"They weren't dinosaurs."

Sez you! What's next, Pluto ain't a planet? Giant flying reptiles from prehistory not dinosaurs?? We kids knew a dinosaur when we saw one, and those meat-eating flying honkers chasing Turok and Andar were sure nuff dinosaurs, by gum!

I love the Parasaurolophus because he made great loud annoying honking sounds, just like I do on my bagpipe. We are like blood-brothers. Windy fellows.

An original bit of doggerel I composed years ago, unpublished until now:

We sing the praise of brontosaurus
A friendly pal of field and forest
Hardly ever running swiftly
He breaking wind in manner nifty
Him gas explosions shake the ground
And knock the pterodactyl down
Cro-magnon man take to his feet
When brontosaur fijoles eat.

Dawghouse bound….

Velosoraptor is a genius in the suborder theropoda, birds to are part of theropoda.

And no swimming or flying "lizards " have never been dinosaurers, so it's not like Pluto where they changed the classification.

Its tough to be from the Carolinas. Not only did the Panthers go down but our Acrocanthosaurus has only two votes. No much love. Acrocanthosaurus is part of Team Theropod and is like a T-Rex but with arm strength. There is one of the few specimens in the natural history museum in Raleigh.

Brontosaurus is the real deal.

Pluto is a planet.

Without the Brontosaurus we never would have had Bronto Burgers or the emblem for Sinclair Oil.

"And no swimming or flying "lizards " have never been dinosaurers, so it's not like Pluto where they changed the classification."

You know-it-all scientist types try so hard to take all the fun out of life.

Why can't all the prehistoric giant lizards be "dinosaurs"? What's the point of the term "dinosaur" if we start splitting hairs? Why single out swimmers and flyers? That just ain't right. Is this some form of land-species favoritism?

Kids know a dinosaur when they see one. They should be the final arbitrators in this.

I like the Spinosaurus. But then I read that he ate only fish which I find rather disappointing.

How do they know? Are they sure? Maybe he ate whatever he wanted.

Allosaurus was fond of Thai take-away, I gather from recent journal articles.

Ankylosaurs munched loco weed until they became deranged and pounded the earth with their tails, inventing the "gated drums" sound so popular in 1980s pop.
