Choose your Fighter

I just want to say that anyone who picks pterodactyl, ichthyosaurus, or mosasaurus as their favourite dinosaurs is wrong because none of those are dinosaurs.

Having said that, I like triceratops, which isn't on the list for some reason. I guess I'll pick styracosaurus since it's similar.

"raptor"

There's more than one kind of raptor, buddy. Also why doesn't the raptor have feathers? If you're gonna mush all the raptors together into a single species, at least draw the feathers. This is offensive to theropods around the world as it turns us into a homogeneous, featherless caricature.

I think “ankylosaurus” is misspelled. The only reason I know that is because it has always been my favorite dinosaur.

No Triceratops? Yeah, I gonna need to speak to a manager on this one...

I’ll pick the Stegosaurus… but only because the Triceratops is conspicuously absent from this chart.

(Secret fighter menu?)

Stegosaurus!

3 of those aren’t dinosaurs, but I would go with the mosasaur. Giant sea snake that ruled the oceans.

Spinosaurus and Baryonyx.

Because so many people recognize the former, but we know so very little about that entire family of dinosaurs, and currently it might be one of the easier ways to get paleontologists to argue amongst each other.

For example: the graphic in the post shows Spinosaurus standing on two legs. It was probably mostly quadrapedal, standing on all fours.

It has a huge, paddle like tail, but apparently didnt have the muscles to use it like a croc or gator does.

The entire family has denser bones suggesting an aquatic life, but most of the spinosaurids have those huge back spines which dont seem to serve a known purpose and the spinal bones have room for air sacs which runs counter to the whole aquatic thing.

So to sum up, we have a heavily built, seemingly aquactic crocodile like dinosaur with teeth and jaws built for active hunting. But wouldnt be that fast on land (heavy bones and giant spines) and cant swim like a croc or gator(no muscles for that.) And it doesn't have a long neck like a heron or pleisiosaur.

Best of all, the most complete skeleton of spinosaurus was destroyed in WW2, so we don't even have that to work from.

Ankilosaurus.

Because nothing says antisocial quite like bony back armor and a big ass hammer.

Stegosaurus has spikes on its back

to keep away predators trying to attack.

Where arw my raptor feathers. They are objectively the coolest dinosaur!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: parasaurolophus is the choice dino

Dinosaur Jr

Where the HELL is my triceratops?

Brontosaurus because Land Before Time was the shit

Gonna need this reworked to include pachycephalosaurus.

Carnotaurus, because it's like a T-Rex's edgier cousin.

Diplodocus just for the name. Either pronunciation is amazing (DIPLO-dockus, di-PLOD-ocus) and I love it

No Tickle Chicken? Bad guide!

When I'm reading the dinosaur book with my four year old they always point at the brachiosaurus and say that it's me, so that'll be my favourite dinosaur.

Brachiosaurus is my guy

Has been and always will be stegosaurus. How can you not love those bone plates and spiked tail? Dude's a beast.

That said, ankylosaurus comes in at a close second. It's armor is pretty boss.

Allosaurus!

I've always loved chickens.

I think you mean 'pick your favourite dinosaur... for today'.

It's Stegosaurus. How could it not be Stegosaurus?

Parasaurolopus because of Land Before Time.

Ayo, where's my boy triceratops at‽

I’ma go with Allosaurus on account of the epic Mohawk

no triceratops

iguanadone since childhood

Ankylosaurs please. Give me an armor plated tank with a built in beat stick that could knock a midsized car several feet with a single swing.

If we are going ancient life in general I will always pick Dunkleosteus. A swimming arrangement of thick bone plates the size of a medium bus with a set of Jaws of Life (Death?) for a mouth. The damn thing could slice through or crush literally anything in the ancient oceans and shallow seas. If it weren't for the Hangenberg event Sharks and Orca would definitely be having some competition.

Ankilosaurus! I love my little tank buddy.

Steakosaurus sounds good to me.

I've always liked ankylosaurus. It's part dino, part turtle, and part tank. If it was also a transformer it'd be the coolest thing ever.

Baryonyx for sureee

Ankylosaurus ftw!

I see at least one pterosaur mixed in with those dinosaurs.

Seeing dinosaurs like this always makes me wonder: had they not been extinct, where would life in Earth be nowadays? Which one would have taken a similar evolutionary path as humans and start walking entirely upright? Which would have started utilising their surroundings to their advantage like humans?

Which could have turned into actual Silurians?

Gonna have to go with Ankylosaurus, if only because Zuul Crurivastator isn't there specifically.

Plesiosaur! It's a reptile, but neither is a mosasaur.
