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.
Yer mum
Harpy eagle
Apparently Pterodactyls aren’t Dinosaurs :(
Also, I think this belongs here: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/oct/23/dinosaurs-asteroid-struck-research
Chicken. It tastes good.
The lad with the thagomizer. Because of the thagomizer.
Stegosaurs! For those who don’t know how the name came about, look it up if you’d like a chuckle.
Ankylosaurus is a strong contender. Really strong contender. But stegosaurus is still MVP.
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.
This thread is the best booster-pack.
The little tiny raptor things. I don’t remember what they’re called.
Compys! Or Compsognathus if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
Denver, the Last Dinosaur
He’s my friend and a whole lot more!
Camarasaurus, because I found a tooth of one while volunteering on a dig site
how big was it? (the tooth)
Camarasaurus has large teeth for a Sauropod. They are like little shovels. This one was worn down quite a bit, so the Paelo on site said it was likely an older adult:
You can see a skull of one here for reference:
That skull looks like a cockpit. Is it missing pieces? Seems like it would not protect well.
Full skulls from Saurpods are fairly rare, since they are so fragile. They are huge animals though. Camarasaurus was much taller than the largest predator at the time (Allosaurus). They were up to like 70 feet long, and 30ish tons. Allosaurus was 30 feet long (still long), but only 2-3 tons. A full grown Camarasaurus would probably just fine. Young ones would be very vulnerable (but they did grow SUPER fast compared to mammals)
That is truly AWESOME!
Thank you for sharing
It was very exciting. I’m hoping to do more volunteering of that sort again.
I wonder what it tastes like.
Therazinosaurus. What even is this thing? Look at this big pokey boi:
Looks like a herbivore who discovered a love for really fresh ham.
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.
What if those giant claws were webbed and it was actually some kind of weird prehistoric duck waddling around everywhere.
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.
They’re so doofy. I love them.
I mean is this really necessary.
Steggy sore ass
Triceratops. The only thing wrong with rhinos are that they have too few horns and not enough armor plating.
There was a monoceratops. Hell, there were ceratopsians who didn’t have horns at all.
Stegos all the way. 🥰
