thats my fav too
Love the armored herbivores
correct
DEInonychus, the dinosaur velociraptor wishes it could be.
Velociraptor is really cool in it's own right. It was like a falcon that jumped off of cliffs instead of flying. Just cause J park got s. Wrong doesn't mean they aren't still really cool.
T-Rex!
I've gotten back into being a dinosaur guy and T Rex is a legit choice. T Rex was a fucking COOL animal and the more modern Intel we have just shows it to be cooler and cooler. They absolutely deserve their name
(T)ankylosaurus
stegosaurus
cute :)
I like how every olde timey stereotype we had for dinos is pretty much true fir stegoes
Styracosaurus. Its like extra triceratops.
I love the spinosaurs despise all the changes,
I also like the mapusaurs
Spinos are neat! I think thr modern image is pretty cool too. Picturing dinos in general more as animals cause they were just that instead if thinking of how cool they'd be as movie monsters is so much more fun to think about. Spinosaurus is a great example. So much cooler to think of things like that wading around and chomping huge fishies
I like the guys with the club tails. Otherwise my favorite dinosaurs are the things that technically aren't, like plesiosaurs, crocodiles, and icthyosaurs.
Allosaurus because they're like T-Rex but cooler and they have three fingers and they were actually predators their whole lives instead of being the Cretaceous equivalent of Yogi Bear
Don't talk about Yogi like that

For carnivore, Dilophosaurus (the real one not the Jurassic Park bozo), cool crests, not too big not too small size, nice shape
For herbivore, Parasaurolophus because dang, look at that cutie. I wanna ride one and get my ears blown out by the deafening toot it may or may not have produced 
Crows
ligmasaurus
Triceratops. First off, they're herbivores. Second, they look really cool with horns and a beak. There's not much we know about them, but I think it's cool that their horns may have mostly been used to identify each other and they were likely quite social. I'm imagining them being something like a dinosaur version of a bison, which is incidentally my favorite mammal.
They also fucking killed T Rexes on the regular.
Oviraptor!
Carnotaurus. Just very pleasing to look at with its baby arms and horns.
The Minmi paravertebra and the Psittacosaurus!
The ankylosaur clade is my fave Euphocephalus is my fave from that.
But I really really gotta hand it to Triceratops. I don't think people get how badass they were. Dirt_owl has common faves. I like Baryonyx as well, they were just like...the workhorse predator of the cretaceous. No flash, pretty good at the job but not doing T Rex shit. Just a neat dude. And also non JPark velociraptors with the Intel we have now are cool af in a different way. Half bird of prey half mountain goat
modern theropods are pretty great, I like the splendid fairywren and willy Wagtails a lot. Australian Magpies are cool too.
gay Sinosaurus
Akshully not a dinosaur.
But if we are playing that game, then dimetrodon.
Dimetrodon is a huge fave of mine bit I wanted to be only dinosaur
Rhamphorhynchus
Ankylosaurus. One of my kids was a dinosaur kid and used to ask if I thought ankylosaurus could beat tyrannosaurus in a fight and I said of course, you can't bite through his back. He would then say the T-Rex would just flip the ankylosaurus over and eat him. This entire exercise was after he had internalized that "Dad's favorite dinosaur is the ankylosaurus" and I think it was directly because of that.
