DEInonychus, the dinosaur velociraptor wishes it could be.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Ankylosaurus, the one with the anal bead tail.

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

Can I have more than one?

I like therizinosaurus, pachycephalosaurus and triceratops

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

GOOD CHOICES!

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That bit in Jurassic world 4 where trex and therizinosaurus team up and rex pushes giganotosaurus onto theri's claws and then they high five. Stupidest shit I've ever seen

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

I love thar movie cause I can enjoy how absolutely stupid it is. It's amazing.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought 4 hadn't come out yet.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Ah right yeah. I got confused about how many of them there were

[–] Castor_Troy@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't think I've heard about therizinosaurus before. They are terrifying!

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They're badass herbivores!

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

I like how every olde timey stereotype we had for dinos is pretty much true fir stegoes

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

(T)ankylosaurus

[–] uSSRI@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Styracosaurus. Its like extra triceratops.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I love the spinosaurs despise all the changes,

I also like the mapusaurs

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

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 sans-doot

[–] buh@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

They also fucking killed T Rexes on the regular.

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago
[–] awth13@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Triceratops. They're a very good dog.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago
[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Carnotaurus. Just very pleasing to look at with its baby arms and horns.

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

[–] SnakeEyes@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

The Minmi paravertebra and the Psittacosaurus!

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

modern theropods are pretty great, I like the splendid fairywren and willy Wagtails a lot. Australian Magpies are cool too.

[–] Mari@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

gay Sinosaurus

[–] astronot@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Rhamphorhynchus

[–] WhoaSlowDownMaurice@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Akshully not a dinosaur.

But if we are playing that game, then dimetrodon.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Dimetrodon is a huge fave of mine bit I wanted to be only dinosaur

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

to stop fucking around, my real fav is horsetail (Equisetum)
