It is technically prehistoric, which I did not know until now. Same with coelacanths, and they're pretty damn cool.
I don't think my poor, sweet Dunkleosteus really qualifies as what people think of when they think dinosaur, either. But it turned its supportive gill arches into the world's first jawbones!
Legit crying that no one has said spinosaurus yet
mine's therizinosaurus, i think it looks goofy in a neat way
Pterodactyl and its not even close lol.
Its like, dinosaurs are cool, but you know what's cooler? Dinosaurs that can fly

argentinosaurus. Largest land animal to have ever existed. That's my favourite dinosaur.
Quetzalcoatlus, easy.
Steggy all the way!
Falco peregrinus, a small carnivorous dinosaur that preys mainly on other dinosaurs—which it strikes and kills in midair with its claws.
Pterodactyl. And now I have the dinosaur train theme stuck in my head. 🦖
That would be Mongolian Titanosaur for me. The bastard's massive.
Liopleurodon.
Stego is in my top 5. 👍
Crocodiles are mine. The Crocodilia order they're from survived 94 million years; they even survived the K-T event. They're some of the few creatures and probably the only legit dinos left that survived from back then. They're the closest living relatives to birds.
(I don't know if people want to debate whether crocodiles can be classified as dinosaurs, but I consider them as such)
There were some really dinosaur-like crocodiles, too. Shuvosaurus and poposaurus, for example.
But for whatever reason, they decided to define dinosaurs to exclude pterosaurs and crocodiles; they're the closest relatives of dinosaurs but are still relatives and not actual dinos.
Birds, though, are legit dinosaurs.

Iguanodon.
Because they are herbivores and are badass with their killer thumbs. Also they have funny looking faces and probably had a funny walk similar to a kangaroo.
Researches first put their thumb horns on their noses which is hilarious as well.
Iguanodon't
Mine's Stegosaurus too! Hello buddy!
I named my motorcycle Sarah from The Land Before Time. Guess mine is a Triceratops. She got the name because she's punchy and Hella fast. Love you YZF-R6
Stegosaurus was my favorite too as a kid. These days I've grown more boring ig and I would probably go with T-Rex, but Stegosaurus will always have a place in my heart too.
Therizinosaurus gang, rise up!
