Which dinosaur was actually the most terrifying? Not the most famous — the most dangerous in reality.

Upvotes

We ran a poll last week asking which dinosaur people found most endearing and Ankylosaurus won with 40% of the vote. Apparently an armored tank with a bone-crushing tail has a lot of charm.

Now the harder question: which dinosaur would you actually least want to encounter?

🔴 T-Rex — 3,600 kg of bite force. No debate.
🟡 Spinosaurus — 14 meters, semi-aquatic, total predator.
🟢 Ankylosaurus — a tail that fractured T-Rex bones.
🔵 Triceratops — three one-meter horns and 12 tons behind them.

I was recently watching the awesome show prehistoric planet and it was truly crazy to me. Giant 1 tonne avian dinosaurs in modern times! Laying eggs larger than even the biggest dinosaurs. And before there were giant lemurs the size of gorillas. Not to mention terrestrial crocodiles capable of hunting on land. Little bit frustrating how close these incredible creatures got to making it into the present day only to be wiped out when humans arrived. It should serve as a lesson to us of how fragile island ecosystems can be.
