@ErickaSimone Pachycephalosaurus ftw! Though it’s not on the list.

@ErickaSimone it's gotta be the T-Rex. Always was. So intimidating, while still having these two little useless arms. I've stood next to a T-Rex skull and it's terrifying to think that this gigantic chicken could and would swallow me whole.

@ErickaSimone Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus! Thank you for this 🥹🫶 Everyone needs at least one favorite dinosaur.

[fylgja@mastodon.social]

@irgndsondepp @ErickaSimone I saw a cast of an allosaurus skull in Utah and thought the same. And that's not nearly as big as a T Rex. My mind can't help but think of how quick I'd be chomped up.

[kateconnors@masto.ai]

@pseudonymsupreme @ErickaSimone Yes! All those ceratopsids!

[irgndsondepp@gts.da-miez.de]

@fylgja totally. Just last weekend I saw a complete upright Allosaurus skeleton at a museum in Basel and that is terrifying enough.

@ErickaSimone fun fact, #pterodactyl are not actually dinsaurs, but rather reptiles due to a seemingly minor skeletal difference.

@ErickaSimone

Tyrannosaurus. But the best reconstruction I ever saw was when an artist did an illustration of a feathered tyrannosaurus that looked like an eight ton sparrow. A round floofy birb.

@ErickaSimone I'm partial to the raptor, especially after my kids showed me the modern scientific representations of it: basically a turkey with claws and pointy teeth.

[dhsquared@mastodon.scot]

@ErickaSimone Ankylosaurus !

[mamalake@beige.party]

@ErickaSimone mosasaurus for me, manatee lover here, give me hot and salty water please

[benjamincox@writing.exchange]

@ErickaSimone Ankilosaurus, any day of the week. It’s armour-plated, what more do you want? ‍️

[jennifer@partychickens.net]

@ErickaSimone

I don't see it listed but Ichthyosaurus

[riggbeck@mastodon.social]

@ErickaSimone

I've always liked the stegosaurus because it looks like a pasty.

[puravariedad@social.anartist.org]

@ErickaSimone where are you Pachycephalosaurus?

[klara@drupal.community]

@ErickaSimone brontosaurus for the role one of them played in one of my favourite comics growing up. It was kept as a pet in a cave under Monaco. Locked up with a bronze key which the heros had to keep from getting in the wrong hands.
The brontosaurus did break free, but turned out to be a goofy friend, as did the fish in the picture.

@ErickaSimone I pick Diplodocus
