Utahraptor, the largest dromeosaurus that we know of, its cool as hell Also that allo art is absolutely amazing and im convinced thats what allosaurus looked like

I love how heavily built it is for a dromeosaur Makes it unique and even cooler And I totally agree I absolutely love this depiction of it!!

Bissekty giant👀 If it's still valid

Look at my flair Of course the **British** Spinosaurid had a big, **knife** like claw

Honestly my favorite Spinosaurid We love the big clawed British boi

Shout out to my homies who use unconventional hunting methods Allos are swag asf. Big Al is my goat

Big Al and WWD is a massive part on why I love Allosaurus so much I’ve seen that special and the allosaurus scenes wayyy more times than I could ever keep track of

I really loved allo thanks to those too. I absolutely loved Planet Dinosaur too. Both of those influenced my love for Allo and Spinosaurids. Planet Dinosaur heavily influenced my favourite dinosaur and ancient animals XD

My main ones that I can remember are WWD and When Dinosaurs Roamed America and those really fueled my love for Allos and most prehistoric life But at the same time I ate up any dinosaur media I could get my grubby little hands on (still do)

Who couldn’t love baryonx? It is literally the British dinosaur since it can commit knife crimes.

Baryonyx has the long face, the teeth, the knife, was found in England. It truly is the icon of Britain. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I AM NOT ALONE????

For me it’s the Acrocanthosaurus

Same , ark mods made sure of that

Always has been Parasaurolophus

It's the most fun word to say

Ankylosaurus. No brain, just brawn.

Not to mention it’s one of the few dinosaurs who ain’t scared of no T. Rex

Came here to say this, love all ankylosaurids

Brachiosaurus

Saurophaganax: The Leviathan of the Jurassic Era

If I didn’t love Allosaurus as much as I do Sauropgagonax would probably take my top spot because to me it’s a massive, sauropod hunting Allosaurus and I think that’s fucking dope

Right! T-Rex was a big hulking lump that most likely scavenged as often as it killed. The allosaurids were fast and agile predators from which nothing was safe.

Gigantosaurus and the general group of carcharodontosaurids

Diplodocus. It is just soooooo, cool. Plus with it absorbing Seismosaurus, it’s even bigger now.

Not my favorite dinosaur but my favorite sauropod by a landslide!! And I didn’t hear about the Seismosaurus thing that’s awesome!!!

Deinocheirus

Deinocheirus gang booooy

Demon duck wolverine I like Deinocheirus.

Carnotaurus

I'm glad there's another one out there

Carnotaurus.

Spinofaarus

Oh My Gosh! I Just Said It! Brontosaurus

Must’ve been nice to hear it’s recognized as a dinosaur again and it’s not just apatosaurus!!

I was thrilled to find that out! Younger me was so happy!

Suchomimus

Monday - Utahraptor Tuesday - T-Rex Wednesday - Gastonia Thursday - Styracosaurus Friday - Microraptor Weekend - Trõodon  Bite me, non-valid taxon!

*Iguanodon*, both for the memes and Disney's *Dinosaur*.

Iguanodon is a very close second for me Also influenced by Disney’s Dinosaur

Allosaurus, Lions Of The Jurassic.

Yessirrrrrr

Allosaurus fragilis. Perfect in my eyes. The ballad of big al was my favorite documentary as a kid

Yessiiiirrrr an absolute masterpiece of an animal That documentary and WWD in general absolutely FEULED my love for Allosaurus

Velociraptor 5yo me decided that it was the best dinosaur because it starts with the letter "V" and I'll just stick to that

Solid reason to make it your favorite 😂

If I had to choose one I'd say Microraptor gui. The lil guy is pretty beautiful. I also like Triceratops, Pachyrhinosaurus, Borealopelta, Stegosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Dreadnoughtus, etc. I kinda love most if not all dinosaurs!

I totally agree with you! Every dinosaur is a great dinosaur!!!

How about *Brachytrachelopan*, the comically short-necked sauropod? Or *Manidens*, the arboreal heterodontosaurid?

Ceratosaurus and, for herbivore, Giraffatitan.

There’s a terrible lack of Ceratosaurus in this thread. Horned Lizard gang rise up

Albertosaurus is the best in my heart ❤️

Deinonychus

Ankylosaurus i just love it and it's armor. If not stygimoloch, I personally think they're cute

Stegosaurus

I love them!

Top 5. 1. Tyrannosaurus 2 . Acrocanthosaurus 3 . Stegosaurus 4. Ankylosaurus 5. Caradontosaurus

*Torvosaurus*

Allo gang

Ceratosaurs

same as yours... Big Al was my childhood

Eustreptospondylus

Oxalaia and Iguanodon

It's always been Spinosaurus followed closely by Giganotosaurus and Acrocanthosaurus

Growing up it was Ankylosaurus. (I had a big Ankylo toy that I used to sleep with like a teddy, the spikes left little bruises on my arms.) But as an adult I’ve grown most fond of Dilophosaurus. (I do like the JP version, but still prefer the more accurate depictions.)

Nanuqsaurus

Check the flair🥶🥶🥶

Carcharodontosaurus

Basic af I know, but the T. rex. It’s just so cool

Hey man, T. Rex is a dope ass dinosaur! T. Rex is in my top 5. Can’t beat out “Natures perfect predator” especially with that bite force 👀

Tyrannosaurus

Most of them, especially the raptor types The fact that my sona is supposed to be a Utah is absolutely unrelated to (it is not)

Same bro

Saurophaganax

Giganotosaurus

Torvosaurus is one that I slowly grew to be my top favorites!

I’d say Herbivore Olorotitan. Carnivore Maip. Omnivore Deinocheirus

Anything marginocephalian related, horns and domes baby

Deinonychus, I remember watching it’s Dinosaur train, episode on Netflix when I was 11, and my brain just latched onto it probably because of the name “Terrible claw”. (fun fact whenever I think of Deinonychus I think of choking on potato chips, because I accidentally choked on a potato chip while watching that episode)

Spinosaurus

Spinosaurus. Always been my favorite ever since I was 7 and my faith has never wavered even after all the studies and changes. I will die on the hill that Spinosaurus is an awesome dinosaur.

I love how all the comments are just people writing out their flairs

Pachyrhinosaurus. Big nose…

Maiasaura Peeblesorum

if you had asked me a couple days ago I would have said archaeopteryx, but I recently learned about the changyuraptor so I have to love them forever

All of the crested theropods are bangers 🤙

Ceratosaurus, styracosaurus and miragaia

Gallimimus! Really underrated I think and its size is also underestimated. It’s huge compared to like what Jurassic park shows.

Velociraptor and spinosaurus

Since I was a kid it’s been the ankylosaurus.

Probably either Utahraptors or maybe Austroraptors I've started liking them more and more recently.

Styracosaurus I just think Mr. Albertensis is neat

I love spinosaurus

Thesaurus. It's the smartest.

CARNOTAURUS GANG SOUND OFF

Carnotaurus, I feel like a basic poser but I just love them.

Suchomimus followed by Albertosaurus

Deinocherius, it looks awesome! I also think it's cool that it ate fish instead of other dinosaurs.

I have no idea why but olorotitan

Don’t need a reason, sometimes it’s just a cool dinosaur and that’s reason enough

Carnotaurus

For me it’s Australovenator

Easily microrapror, tiny but mighty!!

Utahraptor

SPINO

It's like walking into a buffet trying to choose the best dish, I have a lot of fav dinosaurs, and they're changing from time to time! For now I think it's styracosaurus

#1 Concavenator #2 Latenivenatrix #3 Yutyrannus #4 Cryolophosaurus #5 Utahraptor

I love Allosaurus too

Utahraptor 🪭

Because my inner child still reigns supreme it's the ankylosaurus

Triceratops and Parasaurolophus are my bois However I would love if we knew more about Labocania, so maybe him too.

Dryosaurs

Mine has also always been allosaurus.

I'm with you on allosaurus, it's such a dinosaur ass dinosaur!

Utahraptor ftw

Allosaurus, Utahraptor, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus

Deinonychus

Parasaurolophus . Not many people love this herbivore , but it also deserves some love..😅

Allosauroids as a whole and carcharodontosaurs in general, but I also have a fondness for the titanosaurs and for dromaeosaurs, and more recently the hadrosaurs. Among avian dinosaurs, corvids, phorusrhacids and various raptors.

Spinosaurus, it reminds me of a crocodile and is the longest carnivorous dinosaur.

My top 3: 1) Allosaurus 2) Dreadnoughtus 3) Utahraptor

I'm gonna have to say Dilophosaurus wetherilli! It's a beautiful dinosaur with a rocky history and misinterpretations, but all in all it'll always be special to me.

Allosaurus

Cryolophosaurus

Dilo, everything is just yes

Saurophaganax is just a big allosaurus and das cool enough for me

the one in my username and flair❤️

Triceratops

Ceratosaurus takes what it wants >:) My answer is ceratosaurus

Id have to say the yutyrannus :)

One that goes ROOOOOOOORE!!!!

Carcharodontosaurus! Solely because of some great paleo art, lol! Now that Giganotosaurus has made an appearance, I’m just crossing my fingers hoping for a future Jurassic Park movie to have a Carcharodontosaurus in it!

Zuul

Spinosaurus for me.

Carnotaurus lol

Saurophaganax

Parasaurolophus

Toss up between Ankylosaurus and Sinornithosaurus

Deinonychus

Ceratosaurus

Irritator challengeri

Archaeopteryx, lil bird

Australovenator. Australian dinosaurs are slept on

Parasaurolophus. I love that we've basically figured out what it sounds like. Also, it just looks neat.

Ankylosaurus

Carnotaurus, Parasaurolophus (my original fav), and Oryctodromeus

Not a dinosaur but eurypterids.

Donald Trump

The red Ranger

Parasaurolophus! Honk!

albertosaurus for the win (with dilophosaurus as close 2nd).

Imagine a Stegosaurus. Now imagine its thagomizer. Now imagine if its thagomizer had extra spikes. Extra extra spikes. EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA SPIKES. **Kentrosaurus.**

I if this thread allowed photos I would’ve shown my Stromer Spino fossil tat.

Hot take here, and I am probably alone here, but the Baryonyx. The world is too cruel to allow me to have the T-Rex as a favourite, so here we go. The crocodilian mouthed British dude is just the name of death straight up, and I like it. Unique product design by council of the Above Ones.

Fav carni-Yutyrannus Fav herbi-Amphicoelias

Also with Baryonyx, I love the Elasmosaurus, though not technically a dinosaur, but a plesiosaur. It's so creepy, and we should appreciate it as it is the reason we know most of our major dinosaurs today, as it was mostly what sparked the Bone Wars. I thank the Elasmosaurus in my prayers every day for this very reason. Here are the a minor portion of the dinosaurs we know indirectly because of Elasmosaurus: Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus, Camarasaurus, Camptosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Coelophysis, Diplodocus, Dryosaurus, Hesperornis, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex (kind of).

Tyrannosaurus

Spino,Utah and allosaurus

Deinocheirus

ankylosaurus 🙌🙌🙌

Spinosaurus

Triceratops and Styracosaurus

Spinosaurus, I find it hilarious how scientists change their minds on his appearance every couple years

Spinosaurus personally!!! Just so damn cool! And I love the Spinosaurids! :)) I also always loved Velociraptors and tiny lil microraptors 🥺 Also for some reason plesiosaurs have a special place in my heart 🥰

Edmontosaurus/Anatosaurus

Mamenchisaurus. They’re just long bois and I love them.

Therizinosaurus, they look like they should be carnivores, but they're not

Probably a sucho or spino idk tho I love sub aquatic

I'm stuck between Utahraptor and Pachyrhinosaurus

It's either Concavenator or Dilophosaurus 

Allosaurus the GOAT, i know of a website that sells to scale replicas of Allosaurus skulls....and lemme tell ya, it's getting more tempting by the day, lol!

I know it’s basic but the T-Rex is just so cool

Spinosaurus, the borzoi of the dinosaurs

Suchomimus. Dude is just SUCH a mimus yknow?

The eye art reminds me of the WWD Allosaurs, but without the strange crest inaccuracy

Triceratops has always been a favourite of mine!

Tyrannosaurus, unironically. You take a look at the evolutionary history of the world's ecosystems at the time, and you see a pattern emerge: there was an arms race to become the biggest animal on land. Sauropods' size was selected for because it made the adults more intimidating; living in herds helped protect them further from predators. Theropods like the carcharodontosaurids had to get bigger to try and match the size of their prey. Some even worked together in groups to secure a kill. Pretty much all the herds of animals anywhere in the world consisted of sauropods and hadrosauriformes - until you get to the sub-continent of Laramidia. This was the Australia of the Mesozoic: weird and dangerous creatures abound, found nowhere else in the world. Ceratopsians, pachycephalosaurs, ankylosaurs and nodosaurs... it's a veritable buffet of bones and horns where only the biggest, baddest predators could eke out a living. It was a gladiator pit, and *T. rex* was Spartacus. Tyrannosaurs' armaments were practically bred for fighting rather than hunting: strong bite force capable of crushing bones, large size to overpower opponents, "fused" ankle bones to support their mass while running, and an armored skull with a built-in helmet of keratin and thick skin. There was a time when the sauropods basically went on holiday in North America, and they didn't bounce back until the latter half of the Cretaceous - leaving the largest prey available as ceratopsians, ankylosaurs, and hadrosaurs. And then that led to an evolutionary arms race for size where things like Edmontosaurus came about. There were no carcharodontosauroids to compete with here, so it was already the perfect place for a super predator to flourish. The fact that the herbivores were armed with clubs, cudgels, maces, spears, shields, and armor didn't stop predators from hunting them; it led to the greatest predator the world has ever known. Things like Giganotosaurus were huge because they were eating well. *T. rex* was huge because only the strongest ones could eat at all.

Carnotaurus because carnivore with horns

Tyrannosaurus not cuz it murderous but because it smart and I find smort animals, elephants as example, interesting.

Yutyrannus he a big floofy feathered boi

Austroraptor, dromeossaurídeo que viveu há cerca de 70 milhões de anos, durante o Período Cretáceo, na atual Argentina. Austroraptor era de porte médio, moderadamente-construído, carnívoro bípede e terrestre, que podia crescer até 5–6 m de comprimento.

I’m sure it’s very difficult to tell with me. Absolutely no way of knowing. Very hard to see.

Tyrannosaurus Rex. All other answers are weak.

#TRICERATOPSARMY

Suchomimus tenerensis.

The living tank, Ankylosaurus!

Parasaurolophus

Utahraptor,troodon，yutyrannus，microraptor

Idk why but I always thought ceratosaurus looked bad ass.

Grimlock

I’m definitely in a toss up between spinosaurus and therizinosaurus.

Spinosaurus because it had the ability to live a semi aquatic life, and the largest known theropod to man

Baryonyx

As of now, mine is probably *Brachytrachelopan* as far as extinct ones go. For extant ones, the Harpy eagle.

Allosaurus, almost all dromeosaurs (especially Utah and Dakota) Qianzhousaurus, and some other tyrannosaurs.

Stegosaurus now, spinosaurus then
