I still have the childrens book, bought in Singapore in 1990, or so-in English, and I didn’t speak English then-in which they already draw feathers on raptors. Then, Jurassic Park came out and the idea was out of my mind. Museums and artists haven’t forgotten.
For Germans: Earliest fossils with feathers on raptor-like dinosaurs were found nowhereelse than near Nuremberg in the 19 century.
Definitely Triceratops because I had one made in plastic to play when I was a little kid.
Like both Deinonychus and Velociraptor (and others of the same class that I am neither able to spell nor say out laud)..
No idea why, just think they are cool. Probably because it’s assumed that they may have been smart and hunt in groups like wolves or so… No idea how they know from the bones but the idea is cool. Plus they look like mini T-Rex but with arms which is a plus point 
I was thinking that I also favored the murder turkeys.
I think I must have been maybe 8 or 9 when I borrowed a book on dinosaurs from the public library (yes kids that’s what we did back then). I remember a Diplodocus or Brontosaurus on the front cover so yep I’d have to say they are my favourite.
They seem really chilled out, vegetarians, just ambling along chewing on the greenery. 
If they’d had ipods back then I’d bet they would be listening to reggae or maybe a bit of Burt Bacharach. 
You don’t go for the easy questions do you? I’m surprised there hasn’t been a t-rex yet so I’m gonna go with the safe and boring option.
Who doesn’t love the T-rex?
Otherwise I would’ve gone with spinosaurus probably, not sure how authentic it is but presumably a new huge fossil of one was found recently.
A fine beast but imagine the food bill.
Same as @drunkenvicar 
Elephants consume 150-300kg a day, i bet the t-rex was in a similar class.
Woah, that is a lot!
That one could do with a few good meals, he’s looking a bit peaky.
These two get my vote.
If I had to choose one favourite, currently it would be Stegosaurus.
I’ve been a dinosaur “fan” since I was a little kid. But I prefer LIVING dinosaurs… Birds.
The Southern Cassowary, a large, flightless, mostly black bird, found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and northeastern Australia.
The Shoebill Stork is a large long-legged wading bird. Its name comes from its enormous, shoe-shaped bill. It lives in tropical East Africa in large swamps from South Sudan to Zambia.
Dinosaurs informed today’s technolgy
The Bauhaus architects drew inspiration from dinosaurs skeletons, skyscraper walls of the first floor hang from the 2nd floor steel frame, the 2nd floor hangs from the 3rd etc. It’s similar to skin, organs, and muscles hanging from a dinosaur’s backbone. What dinosaurs skeletons did was, to answer, whether skeletons can hold mass, or not. During that time, the Eiffel tower was the largest structure, suggesting steel frames can achieve what conventional bricks cannot. But would it collapse with walls?
That Shoebill Stork is one ancient looking creature isn’t it. Amazing looking thing, like a little window into the past.
Very cool, fascinating.
