After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that's sad.
My current one's the Anchiornis, because it's in the same clade as birds so it's in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked very birb-y:
(Figured I'd just turn an earlier comment into an actual post because why not)
Microraptor. I have a soft spot for the small dinos
It had amazing feathers. That's a really good pick
My daughter has an awesome dinosaur book that includes several I had never heard of, like the Nigersaurus which had hundreds of teeth. Crazy stuff!
I still can’t believe the fact that they used to exist
Right? And what's really wild is that birds are literally dinosaurs. Not just descended from dinosaurs, but classified as feathered theropods and the only known living dinosaurs
But haven't they extincted by the astroid?
Most dinosaurs did go extinct! Now there's only the avialan "branch" left which includes all modern birds, and their extinct ancestors like eg. the Archaeopteryx
I like budgies <3 💚💚💚💛💜
Cryolophosaurus They have a hat and that's pretty cool.
Didn't even know about that one.
Diet: carnivorous
[…]
Food: other animals
Yes that's usually where meat comes from.
Oof tough question. I've always had a soft spot for Parasaurolophus and deinonychosaurians.
If I have to pick a favorite among the heavy carnivores though, I'll be torn between Carnotaurus and Giganotosaurus.
Ahh the Giganotosaurus, giving good 'ol t-rex a run for their money when it comes to size.
Kiwis! They look so unusual and almost mammal like, and on top of this they're absolutely adorable little birbs!

Parasaurolophus. I just think they're kinda neat and kinda cute.
Aside from that, pretty much any raptor. (I am not a paleontologist, I mostly just mean anything with feathers)
Argentinosaurus. Biggest Tree Star eater ever. I think it would be the coolest thing ever to like, mount a dwelling on its back, live on and take care of it.
Trex!
You should play Arc Survival Evolved it's an amazing game for dinosaur nerds 🤓
Titanosaurus. The one from the Showa era, not the one from the Cretaceous.
