Yo, me too! Though as a kid I thought it was anklyosaurus, and somehow related to ankles.
Unless we're allowed to include extant dinosaur species. In which case the bush stone-curlew is my fav. ❤️ those adorable screemy bois.
When my wife drives and we come to a complete stop, if the car next to me has their window down I usually try to ask them their favorite dinosaur. So far only one person has gotten really mad at me, most people just get confused.
How dare you bother me in public! /s

Triceratops was always my fav.
chickens are definitely my favourite dinosaur, tastiest one plus they lay big eggs.

I'm a stegosaurus man myself.
Absolutely. I don't know what it is about them but yeah, stegosaurus are cool.
Growing up is learning your favorite dinosaur isn't actually a dinosaur. (mine was pterodactyl)
Growing up is learning your favorite bird is a dinosaur
Feathered T-Rex. The theory is that those useless little arms are actually supposed to be wings makes more sense. Do they fly? No, and neither do ostriches. Probably glide tho.
With wings that tiny I doubt a T-Rex was doing much gliding either, considering its size.
Maybe falling with style? No, probably not that either.
They Naruto run after you. Thats gotta be it lol

I like the idea that their feather ratio would be more like a chicken or a turkey... and they would just be there absolutely chonky birds...

Ankylosaurus, give me a living tank with a club for a tail that could likely damage a real tank.

Triceratops people hold strong!
Archaeopteryx
It is to our understanding of dinosaur & avian evolution what Lucy is to our understanding of human evolution. Also it looks cool.
I always like pterodactyls, specifically the classic big lizard ones. I do have a tiny Dimetrodon in my pc case though that I got out of a crane machine.
Pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs, FYI: they're pterosaurs. It doesn't matter in the least, but I have a 5-year-old so I'm learning a lot about prehistoric reptiles.

I'm just fascinated by the sauropods. The big ones. I'm gonna go with Supersaurus (because super! Lol)
Sci Am article on how sauropods evolved to be huge over and over again
Of all the animals ever to have roamed the planet, the iconic long-necked, long-tailed dinosaurs known as sauropods stand unrivaled. No other terrestrial creatures have come close to attaining their colossal sizes.
As a child, Velociraptor, as an adult I probably wouldn't choose a velociraptor because of how deadly they are. I would probably choose a more friendly docile dinosaur but I honestly don't know what the best one would be.
Hard to choose.
Nodosaurus: (mummified then fossilized: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mummified-armored-dinosaur-makes-its-debut-1-180963311/)
Microraptor: 4 winged dinosaur
Allosaurus
Apatosaurus
Spinosaurus until the end.
As long as we are using looser definitions mine are Pleisosaurus for an aquatic, Pterodactyl for air and Brachiosaurus for land.
Ankylosaurus peeps, stand the fuck up.
Legit crying that no one has said spinosaurus yet
Pterodactyl. And now I have the dinosaur train theme stuck in my head. 🦖
i always liked compsognathus
they're just little guys
argentinosaurus. Largest land animal to have ever existed. That's my favourite dinosaur.
