My favourite dinosaur is you, the dinosaur reading this.
Actually no it’s Ankylosaurus, the spiky armoured one with the club tail.

Clankity clankity clankity clanky, Ankylosaurus: prehistoric tankie
ankylosaurus is like something you'd invent because your dino rts needed an ultralisk
When I was a boy - a million years ago - I loved triceratops. But now Spinosaurus is my favorite because not only is it the biggest land carnivore ever it's like something out of a nightmare.
Compsognathus. Cute lil buggers
Raptor with feathers because you can still find them today.
I'm too old to actually have a favorite dinosaur, so I have to defer to my child self, who's screaming ankylosaurus.
Carnotaurus. I just think the horns are neat. Looks like a creature out of a sword and sorcery comic.
Plus the arms are adorable.
elasmosaurus
absolutely delicious name to say, and come on, just look at that stretchy guy
Sinosauropteryx because they're super cute and we actually know they had a ringtail
Dilophosaurus is always my go to answer. The crests existing to support a massive nasal cavity is a really cool semi-recent discovery.
Dilos are adorable, I always kept hordes when I played ark
🤓Chickens! A few parrots too. Actually nvm Bearded Vultures
Favorite non-avian dinosaur though? I always liked ornithomimosaurs (funny enough meaning "bird mimic") like Deinocheirus. Bipedal but with very long arms
Saurolophus without a question
Pachycephalosaurus for those sick skulls that'll bash anything.
Archeopteryx although I'm not sure if it is technically a dinosaur
Archaeopteryx is definitely a dinosaur
You can't not love Tyrannosaurus rex
