MemberCompsognathusJan-04-2015 9:40 PMMine is T-Rex, because of his badass facts, his badass name, his badass title "The King of the Dinosaurs", everything about him is badass.
but mostly because the devil himself would shit in his pants if I sees this monster walking towards him.
And whats your fav dino? and Why?
My favorite would have to be Spinosaurus. It's because of its uniqueness. Its sail, how it crawls on all fours, and mostly because it was mostly aquatic in nature. I've always been a big swimmer and it's drawn to me. Also because of Jurassic Park III.
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." - Ernest Hemingway.
No harm intended to Spinosaurus AT ALL. My 3rd fave right there. But he does look a bit like a weiner dog in some of the paleo photos.
"If you can't see it... It's already too late."
-Jurassic Apocalypse (by Paden)
Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus:
50 feet long, 20 feet tall, 6.6 tonnes/7.5 tons
Because: 8 foot + sail, 5 foot arms, 5 foot jaws, 5/5.5 foot neck, short legs, webbed feet, Largest killer Dinosaur, first ever killer dinosaur that walked on 4 legs, and best of all:
FRIST EVER DINOSAUR TO SWIM!
What do you guys think?
haha my favorite dinosaurs are pretty much all ankylosaur(ids) but my favorite dinosaur is ankylosaurus, other than ankylosaurs i like triceratops, especially if there is maximus. My favorite meat eaters are:
torvosaurus, mapusaurus, chilantaisaurus, tarbosaurus, oxalaia, ekrixinatosaurus, titanovenator
tyrannosaurus
spinosaurus
giganotosaurus, utahraptor, carcharodontosaurus, yangchuanosaurus, allosaurus (i think allo is underrated)
seriously though, i like rex, but i don't think theres much competitionb between rex and spino. Rex advantages: powerful bite force, more sturdily and powerfully built
spino advantages: stronger (rex was stronger for ITS SIZE, but spino was at least 15 feet longer), larger, more powerful hand (claws), better in water
rex's only advantage, the bite force, is negfated a lot because even though spino has weaker jaws, they're still pretty strong and rex's other advantage, the more robust build, has already explained to be useless.
also, t rex may have had foot long teeth, but only about three inches stuck out from the gums. Also i like giga more than rex. same reasoning. btw jpcerato, i just think cerato has nothing on allo. Allo is a bigger, smarter, faster and more evolved ceratosaurus without the useless blunt nose horn. The two horns over cerato's eyes were probably eye crests, in which case allo had horns too. Check out this video to see what i mean.

There are several that I am particularly fond of, dinosaurs stemming from my childhood like Diplodocus, Triceratops and Stegosaurus. I preferred the herbivores back that because I was afraid of the big carnivores lol. Dippy was just too big to be messed with while Triceratops and Stegasaurus were two the of the baddest herbivores to walk the planet. I remember watching a film in school in which a T. rex tried to prey on a Stegasaurus only to be knocked silly by that tail. The image of the big, bad Tyrannosaur having the taste slapped out of its mouth like that has stuck with me all of these years.
Fast forward in time and you'll find me taking a keen interest in Spinosaurus for reasons Ash already mentioned, Raptors of all kinds (I find their pack hunting particularly fascinating in addition to having speed, agility and that awesome scythe), and perhaps the most controversial dinosaur of them all, nanotyrannus.
Nanotyrannus fascinates me because it gives me the opportunity to study, learn and formulate my own ideas as so little is known about it. Is it a juvenile T. rex or isn't it? Who knows? We just don't have any sort of conclusive evidence pro or con which makes it an enigma. I am so totally fascinated by this little guy.
heiseiking, where on EARTH are you getting your information?
CARNOTAURUS DID NOT HAVE A SPIKED TAIL!!!!!!!!!!! it had tough skin, but like that of a cheese grater- just to block little scrapes!!!!!!!!
Spino! for the reasons wrotten above but I really liked him as a kid,way before JP 3, when I got my first spino toy(I didnt knew it's name), I liked his design, his uniqueness and his size :)
I also like raptors(any kind) and Carnotaurus
