“raptor”
There’s more than one kind of raptor, buddy. Also why doesn’t the raptor have feathers? If you’re gonna mush all the raptors together into a single species, at least draw the feathers. This is offensive to theropods around the world as it turns us into a homogeneous, featherless caricature.

I just want to say that anyone who picks pterodactyl, ichthyosaurus, or mosasaurus as their favourite dinosaurs is wrong because none of those are dinosaurs.
Having said that, I like triceratops, which isn’t on the list for some reason. I guess I’ll pick styracosaurus since it’s similar.

I haven’t checked in a while but I THOUGHT it was believed triceratops is now just a juvenile other dinosaur

That was news to me. The wiki for Torosaurus is a deep rabbit hole, and since fossilization is rare and we have to go with what little we can find, this will probably be a long debate either way.
With that being said, whatever the name, three horn dino is best dino!

I know it’s been debated back and forth with a lot of the ceratopsian dinosaurs. Torosaurus was the one they think/thought is the adult version of a triceratops. I’m not sure where the consensus stands now though.

My favorite dinosaur is Plesiosaurus.
What are you gonna do about it? >:)
