Naturally, it’s Ankylosaurus. Just look at this armoured tactical turtle and tell me you do not love this silly little guy!
Just wanting to eat his plants. Wanna gnaw on him? Tough luck, it hurts and you cannot crack that shell. Also, he will fucking break your kneecaps with his built-in hammer while you’re bothering him.
Spirit animal.
You gave the correct answer. Done.
Chicken ofc 🍗
Protoceratops because I am completely convinced they would be cool hanging out on the couch, playing fetch, and otherwise acting like a dinosaur house pet.
Therazinosaurus. What even is this thing? Look at this big pokey boi:
I grew up with this even weirder reconstruction:
For a second I thought you’re saying that you grew up with this guy lol
Yeah, we had a Spanish class together in 9th grade.
They’re so doofy. I love them.
Tickle chicken!! This guy is my favorite second only to true dilophosaur which was much larger than the Jurassic park depiction and probably didn’t have the frill or acid spit because it was the largest predator in it’s area.
Mh … either chicken or great tits.
Stegosaurus. Cant beat the classic. Though Iguanodon is close second.
Stegosaurus is pretty great, I was always a fan of them, especially their thagomizers.
There is a company called Stego Industries that has a Stegosaurus as their logo. Sounds cool, right? Wrong! They are awful. They make plastic liners that go below concrete slabs, so under the whole building. STEGOSAURUS MEANS ROOF LIZARD!!! The only construction product worthy of the Stego name should be shingles >:[
Faith in everything destroyed.
Your grandma
Any dead one. They are f-ing dangerous.
Titanosaurs! 100+ feet long, 100+ tonnes. Imagine if a blue whale had legs and a long neck. And it walked around. We would be like mice to them, or insects to the largest ones.
The peregrine falcon. Because it’s the fastest animal (that we know of)!
When I was a kid I really liked allosaurus. Everyone knew and liked tyrannosaurus, which made him too mainstream. I also had a book with really cool visualisation of allosaurus which helped me to prefer this bad mf.
Allosaurus is like a T-Rex that never skipped arm day. Respect.
Exactly!
I do hope the book wasn’t this one…
Well, it wasn’t… but it’s interesting you know of such a book. Coincidence?
It was passed to me as all internet traditions come and now I’m passing it to you. It’s actually a pretty good read, easily the most absurd thing I’ve experienced in a book.
Apparently Pterodactyls aren’t Dinosaurs :(
Also, I think this belongs here: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/oct/23/dinosaurs-asteroid-struck-research
Young me: triceratops all the way. A bulldozer with horns, plus it wouldn’t eat me. Not as over the top with horns as styracosaurus.
Current me: ankylosaurs. Always thought they were unique, but young me also found them weird looking. Now I see it as a giant armadillo with a massive club.
Shout out to ichthyosaurs and pterosaurs. Not dinos but very awesome and terrifying creatures. I feel much safer knowing neither is around anymore though. gh.
enanthiornes, the “opposite birds” that are not related to the birds as we know it.
