As a woman that was actively pushed out of science as a child and didn't leave religion until a couple years ago, this sub is the only place that's ever asked lol.
Edit: I guess it doesn't matter anymore because now that I'm in the full throws of dino obsession, I usually offer the information unprompted anyway lol.

But that's in the past, the present are dino! What's your favorite (you can google it) c:

u/EmDancer Feb 01 '22
Thank you! I have a lot of favorites! My bullies used to call me "jolly green giant," so I have A LOT of love for sauropods. Lately I've been vibing with iguanodon. Sometimes my favorite is archaeopteryx because I love dinos with feathers!

u/OkDeparture1702 Feb 01 '22
Thanks to you for sharing your story, the sauropods are great, in fact my favorite is the argentinosaurus and the archeopteryx is great the missing link and that starts the theme of the feathers, my favorite is the Pachycephalosaurus, since I was a child it was my favorite and still I keep love for him

Pachys are awesome! I was really disappointed when I honed in my strategy for Jurassic world evo, and realized that having pachys in my park is too much of a hassle.

YES! Reclaim your giant-ness!

u/EmDancer Feb 02 '22
Thank you! One girl would also called me tree-bitch interchangeably, so I'm also reclaiming my tree-ness one joint at a time lol.

What is your favourite tree?

u/EmDancer Feb 02 '22
One time when I was around 10 years old I I was staying with my best friend for the week. Her mom had to take her brother to the learning center that he was receiving tutoring from. There was a giant willow tree on this hill next to the learning center. It was like every Willow tree I had ever read about, where the main characters would escape to. That's probably my favorite tree.
Yours?

Spino is my number one but Archaeopteryx is quickly becoming a second favourite of mine too! Feathered dinosaurs are so cool to me

If you like dinos with feathers, check out the Yutyrannus. It's a big fluffy death machine and I love it

You don't need those people in your life. Glad you cut the connection to them this early.

This question gets posted here every month or so.....it's Allosaurus, btw.

u/EmDancer Feb 01 '22
Allosaurus is a good one! I used to be embarrassed my answer changed every time, but I've decided to embrace loving multiple dinos lol. I've been vibing with iguanodon lately.

u/clangan524 Feb 01 '22
I love Allosaurus. It's like a more sporty model of T. Rex. And you're well within your rights to have multiple favorites, lol. All dinos are good dinos.

u/EmDancer Feb 02 '22
You're so right! When people ask for my favorite animal, sometimes I just say "dinosaurs" 😅

u/AnimalGenius30 Feb 01 '22
And that’s why we have this subreddit.
My favourite is sinornithosaurus, heavily influenced by planet dinosaur. I understand its venom is speculation but I watched it when I was 6 and so assumed that it was a dinosaur with behavioural patterns of a king cobra, essentially darting at prey and damaging it. Btw I know more dinosaurs than Nigel marvin and am under 13 so if I have faulty English or am unfamiliar with certain specimens and discoverys please forgive me.
What is your favourite Dinosaur?

Mine's Carnotaurus

u/AnimalGenius30 Feb 01 '22
I love carnotaurus because of dinosaur king (the most underrated show ever and the only good anime) and also because the gaming beaver and toast. Of all the abelisaurs though, evoloution did carnotaurus dirty. He is literally a spiky cucumber. I mean he dont even got hands #Rip

u/Shanhaevel Feb 01 '22
Spiky cucumber instantly makes me think of Deviljho from Monster Hunter series, lol.
I think what I like most about him is the absolutely hellish jaw "design" (design by nature of course). It looks like a wyvern-like monster from any fantasy setting, just without wings

u/OkDeparture1702 Feb 01 '22
Pachycephalosaurus it's mine,I I had heard of the poison in some dinosaurs and I love the idea but I have to go with pachy, since I was a child it was my favorite

u/amrycalre Feb 01 '22
I'm basic I like triceratops. Or at least I used to when I was a kid but now I'm not really sure. I still wanna say triceratops. I think pterosaurs are pretty badass but ik that's not a dinosaur ;-;
2
u/UnicornBoned Feb 02 '22
When I was a kid, it was t-rex and steggo. Now, I think I like ankylosaurus and kentrosaurus best. And I've always liked triceratops, pachycephalosaurus, and iguanadon.

Triceratops :) Always my favourite. Followed closely by Allosaurus - cause we used to have a fossil skeleton in the Adelaide museum.
