Favourite Dinosaur

[Aroundtheworldin80moves]

Following a conversation with DH... What is the best dinosaur. He says velociraptor. Personally I prefer Pteredons, but I don't think they are strictly dinosaurs. I'm rather impressed by giraffatitans too...

[GuyFawkesDay]

Deinonychus.

Or I'm fond of a stegosaurus

[SnakePlant]

Gosh I don’t know how I can choose. Velociraptor, T Rex as he is iconic, diplodocus because they seem like gentle giants and the opposite of T Rex and velociraptor. I’m sad that filming has had to stop on the next Jurassic Park film. I know they’re basically all the same film but I can’t help being over invested in them. It’s hard to know quite where you would place a pterosaur. I still say they’re dinosaurs as they’re basically just flying ones?

Parasaurolophus

Cool crests. The best party bag DD ever got contained a slice of cake and a model Parasaurolophus.

[Aroundtheworldin80moves]

Velociraptors were my favourite, until I saw an 'image' (computer model based on skeleton) of one, and the feathers and size sort of diminished it.

The discovery of the mini dinosaur, size of a hummingbird, in amber recently was amazing. Complete opposite on how we see dinosaurs!

[wearybeery]

The big ones in the sea, plesiosaurs I think. That and the doyouthinkhesaurus

[AnotherMurkyDay]

Diplodocus

[Mymymycorona]

Triceratops. Easy.

[BrokenBrit]

Diplodocus - so big but so gentle. In my head giraffes are their distant relatives

[Divebar]

Old “tiny arms “ himself T Rex

[SingingSands]

Diplodocus. Plod plod plod, munch munch munch, sink sink sink into swamp swamp swamp.

[zombiepara]

Diplodocus and iguanodon!

I still have my dinosaur toys from the natural history museum.. and these two were always the good guys!

[Bedroomdilemma]

Pachycephalosaurus, just cos I like the sound of the name and they have nice hard heads.
Nah, not really, it is has to be T Rex, no?

[Dinosauratemydaffodils]

Spinosaurus. Dh and ds would say T-Rex though.

[TitianaTitsling]

Pleiosaurus like @wearybeery- always think that's what Nessie is!

[TitianaTitsling]

Oh and ankliosaurus (sp!), looking like l feel at the moment, spiky and grumpy!

[AngelaScandal]

Troodon. Look like an owl kinda. (Relatively) big of brain for a dinosaur.
DS would say an Allosaurus
Why do I know each and everyone of these dinos? Andy. That’s who. I feel like I spend more time with him than my DH

[ErrolTheDragon]

Troodon. Look like an owl kinda

Or is it that owls look like Troodons?

[GordonBennett20]

Ankylosaurus are my favourite too! I remember going to the natural history museum and being amazed that that they had a club on the end of their tail!

I like triceratops and stegosaurus too

[BookSkark]

I agree with @Bedroomdilemma. Nothing beats a Pachycepholosauras for name alone (even if I can't spell it).

Failing that I'd go Styracosaurus, but only because of Dance of the Dinosaurs (Styracosaurus shakes his collar and his spikes, rattle rattle rattle is the noise that he likes). DS is nearly 10 now. I miss that book...

But for all this is a C-word free zone, we spent our outdoor exercise time today catching dinosaurs on Jurassic World alive (dinosaur equivalent of Pokémon Go). We haven't done that in over a year. Guess there are some benefits if you look hard enough.

[Yodasdog]

Quite partial to an Anklyosaurus in our house...affectionately known as a Turkey Lurkey for reasons that would take too long to explain and mean nothing to anyone

[AngelaScandal]

@ErrolTheDragon point well made.

[TheLarkDescending]

Brachiosaurus for me.

[duckme]

Brontosaurus, is that the one with the long neck? The one that was left behind on Fallen Kingdom? And triceratops.

[TitianaTitsling]

Now am getting all oddly dinosaur emosh and thinking of The Land Before Time... I'm sure Spike was an anklyosauraus!

[safariboot]

Brontosaurus. The OG big sauropod. And I don't care that it's supposed to be apatosaurus. (And actually some palaeontologists now think brontosausus and apatosaurus are different dinosaurs).
