Probably this guy, Parasaurolophus. He looks so friendly. I imagine he behaves like a friendly cow wanting his neck scratched. There's also a giant sloth-like one but I can't remember it's name.

Spinosaurus is the best dinosaur desu

>>35402138
that's a good dino. I love that some dinosaurs (and modern lizards) have radiators on their backs. its so wacky

You might check out Mark Witton and Daren Nash, and there's another guy on scientificamerican.

I am in my mid twenties but still bough a few books on dinosaurs (including one with pterosaurs instead) because I'm a yuge bionerd.

I like archaeopteryx because it perfectly embodies my autistic impulses as a dinosaur enthusiast!

Isn't science discovering more about dinosaurs, and how they weren't really reptiles?
Some say they had feathers and looked more like birds.

>>35401867
Dinosaurs were nature's giant robot animes desu

>>35401867
I resent you talking about me like this

>Some say they had feathers and looked more like birds.
Note I have limited knowledge on dinosaurs.

I think it is pretty much settled that some had feathers, such as therapods, if my memory serves me well.
But not all, and it isn't settled whatever some had it or not.

Yes, there's lots of evidence suggesting that dinosaurs had plummage, especially theropods (two legged meat-eaters). Here's a pretty painting by Emily Willoughby to illustrate how some people think they may have looked.

Coincidentally, Wendy and I are about two blocks away from where that pic was taken

We are about to go to the same spot and recreate that same pic

Dinosaurs are boring as fuck

"I love you, you love me, whatever"

Emily Willoughby gives great head, on her knees, in the men's room of an abandoned Arby's off hwy 47

I have to take a monster shit

I've literally git the 'tip of the iceberg' coming out my ass as I speak

reminds me almost of a deer, very cute friendly looking dinosaur, wonder what sounds it would make. i bet it would sound like a goat. after some research i've decided that my favorite dinosaur is the giant bear (arctotherium) also, the giant sloths are called megatherium.

>>35404321
reminded me of that liveleak where the bear eats the guys face

Regarding you making me listen to a song on YouTube and then expecting me to 'say I like country music' but me hating country music, and you insisting that the banjo was supposed to be 'symphony like', and me secretly hating both symphonies AND banjos, and YouTube too, and my hidden inner resentment towards you, and me pretending I am unaware that you also resent me, even though you you're the one who made me listen to the god damn song, and I did nothing wrong, but you did do something wrong, which makes me wonder what you think you have to be resentful of, ummm...

uhhhh......

where was I ?...

Oh yeah.
. uhhhh....

Hmmmm....

....uhhhh...

Just forget it

Ankylosaurus is a cool guy

I like carnotaurus, but my favorite dinosaur is the saltopus

>>35404767
I would've pegged you for a PENISAURUS licker

My favourite Dinosaur is the Therizinosaurus. I love playing them in The Isle and they're my favourite mounts in ARK.

Very close second are most Ceratopsids or the Ankylosaurus.

>>35405431

I always thought that a Therizinosaurus was a boom filled with synonyms

BOOK dammit a BOOK

NOT A GOD DAMN BOOM

fucking autocorrect is crap

>>35405431
Are you talking about the Carbonated Ceratopsids, or the Non Carbonated Ceratopsids?... because if it's the non-carbonated version then you are certainly correct indeed, just like the Alkaline Ankylosaurus vs the Non Alkaline Ankylosaurus....

Right?...

No ?.....

Did I even get anywhere near close at all?

No ?.....

FUCK !!!!

*raises hand, as trickling water noise appears and a puddle of urine slowly builds at my feet*

"May I be excused?"

*suddenly no longer seems anxious, the concerned look of fear and uncertainty now replaced with a smug grin*

"Maybe I'll just enjoy this feeling for a while"

*lights a cigarette and tosses the match onto the floor, where my puddle of urine combusts*

WHOOOOMP !

*suddenly, three ceiling panels open up, and three blurry figures reach down and grab me, lifting me to the ceiling as your eyebrows smolder from the flash fire*

"What did you expect?"

*my body breaks into three modular sections as the sound of hydraulics and metal clanging occurs*

*ceiling panels close and a deadening silence envelops your thread as I vanish*
