Hey, so I just wanted to hear from some people what their all-time favorite dinosaur is, if they could choose just one. (This can be carnivore, herbivore, anything; not just limited to predators.) Just name the dinosaur, list some facts, tell us why they are your favorite, and include a picture if you want.

My favourite dinosaur is T-Rex. It is my favourite because I have known what T-Rex was since I first heard about dinosaurs when I was 3 or 4 (I'm 14 now). You know the facts on Rex, and I don't know how to post a picture.

It would have to be carnotaurus with the cameleon ability as well as it speed.
But John, if the Pirates Of The Carribbean breaks down, the pirates dont eat the tourists.

Spinosaurus, maybe. Or Carcharadontosaurus. T-rex just isn't the king anymore. Still a boss, but these two outshine him. Of course, Predator X is pretty cool too.

Tyrannosaurus for sure. It's not just because he's the king and one of the largest predators ever, although that certainly plays a part in it. T-rex is just so interesting. Huge head, teeth, bite force, body, etc. Just an overall, classic dinosaur. Average size= 43-46 ft long, 7-8 tons Max Size= 50 ft long, 9-10 tons [img]http://wallpoper.com/images/00/33/67/47/dinosaurs-tyrannosaurus_00336747.jpg[/img] *Sizes based on my estimates

T-Rex, my childhood favorite and still is now. Being one of the leargest carnivores to exist with a body size of 50 ft long and 9-10 tons, it was awesome. Not to mention it's huge jaws that could extend like an anaconda's to take big bites and swallow huge chunks of meat with it's big banana sized teeth. Also had the biggest bite force ever (not counting crocodilians at the time) and had strong bones used for taking heavy hits from tough prey like triceratops and ankylosaurus. It was and will always be the King of the dinosaurs, I even like the meaning of it's name, Tyrannosaurus Rex = "Tyrant Lizard King".

Fricking Carcharadontosaurus! It outdid T. Rex on length and height, and had bite forces to match. A truly apex predetor, and anything that can rule Cretaceous Africa is pretty brutal...

Those are all cool, Spino Rex! I've always felt like Acrocanthosaurus could be an interesting minor antagonist for JPIV, but just my opinion.

Anyone else who wants to post, the dinosaur doesn't have to be your favorite. You could post a dinosaur that you think deserves honorable mention, or one you think is cool!

Ceratosaurus is one of my favorites. Although, at 25 ft long and about 2 tons, it was not massive, it was still terrifying. I wish Ceratosaurus would get more attention. [img]http://www.history.com/minisites/jurassic-fight-club/dinopedia/images/ceratosaurus.png[/img] Camarasaurus is probably one of, if not my favorite, sauropod ever. It was not massive, but still huge. Somewhere in the range of 63-70+ ft long and 20-30 tons. [img]http://www.history.com/minisites/jurassic-fight-club/dinopedia/images/camarasaurus.png[/img]

Utah Raptor and Triceratops also happen to be a few of my other favs as well. What's more scarier than a bunch of velociraptors that are no more than the size of a turkey coming after ya? how about a pack of Utah Raptors the size of a man! And Triceratops, well it was just so cool with those 3 horns and big frill to protect it from fierce predators like T-Rex and the kind of neck bone they had made it a really tough prey to fight.
