    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.

      I haven’t checked in a while but I THOUGHT it was believed triceratops is now just a juvenile other dinosaur

        That was news to me. The wiki for Torosaurus is a deep rabbit hole, and since fossilization is rare and we have to go with what little we can find, this will probably be a long debate either way.

        With that being said, whatever the name, three horn dino is best dino! And weird that the meme wouldn’t have one on there, since it has always been a well known dinosaur in movies and toys.

        I know it’s been debated back and forth with a lot of the ceratopsian dinosaurs. Torosaurus was the one they think/thought is the adult version of a triceratops. I’m not sure where the consensus stands now though.

          Consensus is probably not.

          • We don’t have transition forms
          • We probably have young Torosaurs (which are not Triceratops)
          • Holes in the skull would have to form atypically late for ceratopsidae
          • some other stuff I forgot

    “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.

      Same, and I was getting concerned when I got halfway down the list and I didn’t see it yet. I’ve always liked the pterodactyl as well, because it’s basically the closest we’ll get to a wyvern.

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

      If Ark is anything to go by, the mosasaur is the most powerful of them all.
