What's Your Favourite Dinosaur?
I heart Deinonychus.



A member of the Raptor family, this is the dinosaur that the "Velociraptors" in Jurassic Park were modeled after (the real Velociraptors were only about 2.5 feet tall).

18. The only good dinosaur is a dead dinosaur.
They're all good.

I try not to play favorites. You don't want an Allosaurus running around who thinks you've been biased against him or her.

19. Cretaceous polar Allosaurs
Living in a changed world with only a shadow of your former power and no hope of regaining what you had. Sorta reminds me of being an American in the modern era.

28. I'm fond of Liopleurodon.
Which, like pterosaurs, was not technically a dinosaur.




Baryonyx runs a close second, though.
