Favorite Dinosaur.

by **kronoridley** » 12.26.10 10:53am

T-Rex was a predator. Not a scavenger. A lot of people think he is a scavenger, but, more recent (and accurate) findings suggest he was a predator.

Also, I hate to burst everyones bubble, but, like CapCom said, this is what a Velociraptor actually looks like:

I think it's kinda cute...

Jurassic Park's Velociraptors simply becuase they are awesome in almost every aspect.

. I take it trilobites and coelacanths don't count, eh? I was more interested in the aquatic stuff, like the Dunkleostus for example. But gee, favorite dinosaur...i guess it would have to be that one thing...dinochius or whatever. The ones with the big toe claws, if that can narrow it down.

Velociraptors are also small, a few of feet tall (I heard one paleontologist referring to them as "ankle-biters"). The ones in Jurassic Park were more like Utahraptors.

I like ankylosaurs. Giant walking tanks with maces for tails.

If we are going for more general extinct animals, then my favorite is sea scorpions, aquatic scorpions up to this size of a crocodile.

It seems I must educate you all on Utahraptor.

Much bigger than the Hollywood velociraptors and therefore much more awesome.

When I was a kid I read a book by Robert Bakker called Raptor Red, all about the life of a female utaraptor. It's pretty awesome.

NO ONE EDUCATES ME ABOUT DINOSAURS! :evil:

Seriously, no one!

I get all the dinosaur information I need from Dinosaur Comics.

So that's why you think T.Rexes have the ability to communicate with God.....

the dilophosaur, but apparently they dont have the frills like they do in jurrasic park and cant spit neuro venom x_x

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Heheh... mmm, what scientist don't know yet is, that, all dinosaur where in fact infant to the supreme queen dinosaur.

(kidding)

Mmm, my favorite? Pterodactyl sure look cool. They look mean... but it's funny, scientist portrayed all dinosaur with a mean look.

Elsewhere, I like Ridley also. He's like a a dragon, from space. A space dragon ? Woah!

One of those crazy aquatic ones the size of buses. Like one of the giant eels, or a plesiosaur. There was this shark/fish/eel/bone saw-hybrid I saw in a dinosaur special years ago with teeth up to here; I wish I knew its name.

by **TheBlackCat** » 01.02.11 10:58am

If you want to be technical, neither the flying reptiles (pterosaurs including the pterodactyl) nor the large marine reptiles (such as plesiosaurs, pliosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and mososaurs) are dinosaurs.

by **kronoridley** » 01.02.11 11:03am

Technical? I thought it was general!

by **Troid** » 01.02.11 3:10pm

I'm aware of that. Fortunately, I don't want to be technical.

by **Recker** » 01.03.11 10:19am

If it were technical then I would say a featherless/plucked Utahraptor.
