FINE THEN, I'll choose a specific species of the awesome Antarctopelta of the Anklyosauria! Forget hot and humid climates, this beast lived in Antarctica!
Antartica WAS a relatively hot and humid climate at the time!
Don't try to beat me, son, I'll always win. Always.
After doing some research I have learned that you were right and my teachers were kind of dumb in stating that Antarctica is solid ice. On to another note:

As for my vote, I'm going to have to go with Carcharodontosaurus, for being badass enough to survive around Spinosaurs.
The Carchardontosaurus may have been smaller than the Spinosaurus, however the Spinosaurus mainly ate fish and sea creatures (Perhaps not ALL, due to the different species, of course). If the creatures were to fight on equal footing (neither with any wounds, same age), then the Carcharodontosaurs may have had a size advantage! Spinosaurs are estimated to be between 41 feet and 59 wheras Carcharodontosaurs sit between 39 and 43 feet. If real Spinosaurs sat at the smaller end of the spectrum, than the idea of a Carcharodontosaur outliving a Spinosaurus isn't very impressive. I understand weight would be a more important factor, however there are huge ranges on the estimated weights for both predators. The Carchardontosaurus was good, but you give the Spinosaurus faaaar too much credit.

A friend of mine is an Engineering major and does a bunch of robotics-related things. I'm actively trying to get him to break into a museum with me so we can steal fossils and turn them into giant fucking robo-sauri.

Anyway, back on topic: Pterodactyl. It can fly man! I want a Pterodactyl specifically so I can get to places...like work and my old schools. I'll have it shit on those places because FUCK OFF I'M ON A FUCKING PTERADACTYLE!

I love raptors, not fussy about any particular kind. I just dig the super-agile, super-intelligent pack dynamic because it allowed them to be the bane of creatures much larger than themselves.

On the more herbivorous side, definitely Anklosaurus. It was covered in impenetrable armor from head to tail, and the tail itself was a fucking mace that could snap a T-Rex's shin bone in two. It just had that 'come at me bro' appeal to it.

because of this, I almost went with raptors, but then decided Triceratops will always win.
Haha that's cute.

I loved dinosaurs as a kid. I had tons of dinosaur toys, books, movies, ect.

OT: Can't really say I have a favorite. They're all kinda cool in their own way.

Out of your list, I'd choose the Ankylosaurus, go figure. Screw claws, he has a mace! My all-time favorite has to be the Dimetrodon.
Look at his fin! He was just a few years away from evolving into a dragon 'till that scumbag meteor...or supervolcano...or aliens.

This is the only true answer.
I counter your Reptar with the actual true answer.

[HEADING=1] Barney the motherfucking dinosaur![/HEADING]



This dino does not give one singular fuck, and that is why he's the best! =D

Pretty sure you're both wrong.

There are only two right answers.



... I kinda miss Digimon now. Too bad there hasn't been a moderately decent game in the franchise released in a decade.

The sheer definition of badass dinosaur.
The definition of "badass dinosaur" is about the size of a small dog?

I hate to seem to follow the crowd, but my favorite has always been the Velociraptor.

Sure it's small, but it's awesome looking while feathered, is fast, and works in a team. How fucking cool is that?

Pachycephalosaurus, because a dinosaur that smashes into its enemies with its head is something I can get behind.

Triceratops because... well why not?

I think that Pterodactyles, and all pterosaurs, are not technically dinosaurs. I'll go see if I can find that episode of Dinosaur Train.

Speaking of which....

I know its cliché, but yes, T. rex, and yes, because of Jurassic Park.

Even after 20 years, I cant get enough of this shit.:O

A relative of this fellah, (theres a whole family of bipedal headbashing dinosaurs), but with a sleaker longer head that, in my mind, made it look a bit like a duck. :p

Not as much as the actually duck faced dinosaurs, but it went a bit in that direction.

I have to go with Iguanodon. If for no other reason than because of sentimental value. The first research paper I ever did was in third grade and it was about Iguanodons.

Granted, it was only about 200 words and most of it was copied out of the encyclopedia, but it was still my first paper.
