If only Sturgeon was a dinosaur..

It is technically prehistoric, which I did not know until now. Same with coelacanths, and they're pretty damn cool.

I don't think my poor, sweet Dunkleosteus really qualifies as what people think of when they think dinosaur, either. But it turned its supportive gill arches into the world's first jawbones!

Ankylosaurus peeps, stand the fuck up.

Quetzalcoatlus, easy.

argentinosaurus. Largest land animal to have ever existed. That's my favourite dinosaur.

Legit crying that no one has said spinosaurus yet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Pterodactyl. And now I have the dinosaur train theme stuck in my head. 🦖

Steggy all the way!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

mine's therizinosaurus, i think it looks goofy in a neat way

Iguanodon.

Because they are herbivores and are badass with their killer thumbs. Also they have funny looking faces and probably had a funny walk similar to a kangaroo.

Researches first put their thumb horns on their noses which is hilarious as well.

Iguanodon't

Stego is in my top 5. 👍

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Liopleurodon.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That would be Mongolian Titanosaur for me. The bastard's massive.

Crocodiles are mine. The Crocodilia order they're from survived 94 million years; they even survived the K-T event. They're some of the few creatures and probably the only legit dinos left that survived from back then. They're the closest living relatives to birds.

(I don't know if people want to debate whether crocodiles can be classified as dinosaurs, but I consider them as such)

There were some really dinosaur-like crocodiles, too. Shuvosaurus and poposaurus, for example.

But for whatever reason, they decided to define dinosaurs to exclude pterosaurs and crocodiles; they're the closest relatives of dinosaurs but are still relatives and not actual dinos.

Birds, though, are legit dinosaurs.

Mine's Stegosaurus too! Hello buddy!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Triceratops, because they imply the existence of Tricera-bottoms. bottom-speak

Also they're just walking tanks and my second favorite Zoids.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Probably dino. He was a good boy.
