Cartoonasaurus. Roamed the earth during the stereotypaceous era.

I sat on one of those once and it splintered - a mega-sore-arse.

Gallimimus would be my best guess as an untrained mother of boys who like dinosaurs

Notthehill · 16/02/2026 15:32

Why in the name of all that is holy are people saying Iguanodon?? There are no thumb spikes which are the main identifying feature of an iguanodon. I will die on this hill.

Dryosaurus?

SlightlyHeartbroken · 16/02/2026 19:19

Coelophysis

menopausalmare · 16/02/2026 19:28

Google lens thinks it's an anatosaurus.

Gallimimus

I was expecting a picture of Robert Lowe!

PainterInPeril · 16/02/2026 20:19

Roarasaurus....I'm DEFINITELY an expert! 😉

liveforsummer · 16/02/2026 20:22

Is it not a cartoon velociraptor?

Sprogonthetyne · 16/02/2026 20:36

DS said its probability meant to be Plateosaurus, as they're the most well known soropodimorph, but it actually looks more like a sarahsaurus.

He's 9 years old, autistic, and dinosaurs have been his special intrest since he was 2, so pretty much an expert in paleontology.

Is OP even coming back, or is this just another drive-by dino id request? You can tell it's the school holidays 🙄

Only joking, I love mumsnet for this sort of random request and the expertise in the replies. Nothing useful to add.

Purplesparklyhippopotamuses · 16/02/2026 20:52

Ok, from my austistic daughter who's special interest is dinosaurs when I asked her if she had any input...
"It's like a mix between t-rex, raptors and sauropods, long story short no clue and that picture shouldn't exist" pretty sure I saw an eye twitch when she saw it 😂

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/dino-directory/hypsilophodon.html

only got halfway through the alphabet on the nhm website but it looks like this to me. Great half term activity to I’d it!

You got there before me. 100% hypsilophodon.

You are quite right. I stand corrected!

Playingvideogames · 16/02/2026 21:27

Gallimimus or ornithomimus

pteromum · 16/02/2026 21:39

Reminds me of this, when DD was 3. We were those parents who sent it to the company and did receive a colouring book in exchange for her proof reading. She was furious.

FFS. It’s a very bad cartoon iguanadon. There’s no point matching it to other potential species. My son is 22 and I still have rage over this shit.😂
