Forums → The Tavern → Your Favorite Dinosaur

Hmm.. tough choice, so I'll pick one favorite from each of the 3 eras of dinosaurs.

From the Triassic: Chindesaurus
From the Jurassic: Tie between Dilophosaurus and Compsognathus
From the Crustaceous: Stygimoloch, however special mention goes to Deinonychus.

The Deinonychus seems pretty interesting it's a larger raptor with feathers, shows how the dinosaures evolved into birds.

Another fun fact the Deinonychus was the actual model for the Velociraptors in the movie Jurassic Park. Though to it's defense at the time they were believed to be the same species.

That explains why the raptors in JP were overly large.

My favorite dinosaur is the Dinosaur Tank.
Its a Dinosaur mounted on a tank, its pretty uncanny.

Megalosaurus because it looks really awesome let me see if i can find one ah! here: megalosaurs

Definitely would have to be the Stygimoloch just because i've always heard the name mean horned demon from the river of hell (aka Styx)... awesome huh?

The T-rex!!! was always addicted to playing with toy like that then one day. I grew up :| I miss emm.

Brontosaurus isn't a valid name anymore, since it had a wrong skull. Now, with the right head, it's called Apatosaurus. And the picture shows a fantasy leviathan thingie if I'm right. Apatosaurus was more like this:

as a kid it always was the velociraptor, nowadays I think the Oviraptor and Deinonychus are just as cool (especially Oviraptor with it's neat tail feathers).

I used to have the Brontosaurus as my favourite dinosaur. I liked it only because it was one of the largest dinosaurs in that period.

Velociraptor, awesomely fast and with just a scream can warn more than 20 friends from enemies.

Actually all three would have had feathers.
