Prepare for a thread of Jurassic proportions.
Sup gentiles, anyone else here enthused about dinosaurs? Well if so, then you've come to the right place. Here we can discuss dinosaurs, in all their glory, and all their horror. These prehistoric beasties are the cornerstone of paleontology and in the hearts and minds of many peoples. So please, share your thoughts on these loving creatures.
So, my fellow forum goers, what's your favorite dinosaur? I like the velociraptor myself, but it pains me to think that they may have had hair. So does this mean that watching dinosaur pr0n now makes me a furry? Not that I get off on dinosaurs or anything...let's change the subject. Do you believe that dinosaurs had hair? Share your thoughts on this controversial matter here.
What are your favorite forms of dinosaur media? Personally I love the first Jurassic Park movie and the first Dino Crisis game. Also, do you believe that, assuming it is possible, that scientists should bring back dinosaurs? I think so, since not only would it further science, be conversational, awe the world, and because I fraking love dinosaurs. On the other hand, do you believe that velociraptors were super intelligent and/or could communicate? And do you believe that the tyrannosaurus can only see movement?
Are you ready for the dinosaur apocalypse? No doubt at some time in the future there will be a dinosaur outbreak, either through genetic engineering, time travel, or any other means. That's why it is imperative to have a dinosaur survival plan, along side your zombie survival plan. What's your plan if dinosaurs attack?
So please, join me in discussing this wonderful topic and make constant extinction puns that are so old they're prehistoric. Pro-tip, BioWare should make a dinosaur RPG. And remember, this is the best thread ever.

Liopleurodonis ferox, and it's more well known cousin:
Liopleurodonis ferox magicus.
yes, its brain may be the size of a walnut, but it looks so cool!
also, its arrangement of tail spikes is called a thagomizer, which is fun to say and was coined by Gary Larson! also to use as a verb, as in the following sentence: Dude look out, that stegosaur is about to thagomize the shit outta you!
I am also fond of the diplodochus and brachiosaurus.

Anyway, Utahraptor is my pick. It's got the raptor deathclaw, and it's big enough not to get punted.
Also on Steam and PSN: twobadcats
They're all dead. There was a terrible accident. I am sorry.
Sorry bronto-bro, but it never existed
Not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs are named based on a specific hip structure I believe, so any swimming or flying "dinosaur" isn't actually a dinosaur.
And my favorite dinosaur is the
Birds are fucking dinosaurs, dude
Oh, and

"NO!!!! That's not true! That's impossible!"
Brontosaurus is a miss-classified Apatosaurus with the wrong head, and Triceratops is actually the juvenile version of Torosaurus (but the species as a whole is still called Triceratops)
also, dromeosaurids (like Velociraptor and Deinonychus) were probably covered in feathers, and T. rex may have had them as well (possibly only the younger ones or ones in colder climates)
Better than the people who claim he was a vegetarian.
My favorite dinosaur has always been a Brachiosaurus. I loved the idea of something that monumentally huge walking around on land.
Oh, and the T-Rex never stood like this
But stood like
T-Rexes always land on their paws.
"We believe in the people and their 'wisdom' as if there was some special secret entrance to knowledge that barred to anyone who had ever learned anything." - Friedrich Nietzsche
I choose you, Spinosaurus!
Also, a new episodic Jurassic Park game is coming out soon. I await reviews.
My favorite has always been the ankylosaurus. He's low to the ground and pretty chill looking, which I admire, but he's tough and has spikes and a tail that could probably fuck you up. He's non-confrontational, but he also isn't a victim.

It's all about the mother fucking Dino-Riders.
You know what probably killed Megalodon? A wave. A giant fucking wave killed the biggest meanest fucking thing that lived in the water. What a pussy.
Oh come on!!! That dimetrodon predated the T-rex by at least 202 million years! And the stegasaurus was around 90 millions years before the T-rex or the triceratops! This image is total bullshit!
YOU CAN'T SPELL AWESOME WITH SCIENCE!
Dimetrodon isn't even a dinosaur! NERD_RAGE!!!
Triceratops (of multiple varieties), Stegasaurs (same) and Ankylosaurs. Anything that weighed a couple of tons, ate grass and could ruin something's day with spikes, spines or a two ton club.
Also, Dimetrodon may be my favorite. Well, after Pterodactyls.
I fucking loved dinosaurs as a kid, picked up literally every single book my town's tiny library had on them. I never heard about Velociraptors until I saw Jurassic Park when I was like, 14.
You uh... you may want to change that image.
That is, unless you intended to post a statue of a naked bronze man wielding infants as weapons.
I personally don't recall the dino-riders action figure that was anatomically correct.
