Laugh, laugh. A stegosaur with 3 votes is leading the ranking!
Anyway all dinosaurs had little brains.

I believe that is Ankylosaurus (sp?). He is my favorite herbavor. My favorite carnivor( ) would have to be either Deinonychus ( a bigger version of velociraptor; i think it is what was meant in Jurassic Park, Velociraptors being only about 3-4 ft tall in real life instead of 6-6.5) or the ultimate bad-ass, Tyranasaurus Rex!

The artist forgot deinonychus' feathers! No feathers on a raptor, that is SO old school. Most dinosaurs were dumb, but the Raptors (family Dromaeosauridae) and tiny relatives of Tyrannosaurs, Troodontids (also feathered), were quite smart, probably as smart as dogs, cats, or ravens. Actually all memmbers of the carnivore group Coelurosauria were feathered, T-rex is a member of this group (its not a relative of Allosaurus), but lost its feathers just like many large mammals have no hair.

Ankylosaur, no question...virtually a tank of an animal, and that club tail? how could you not love that? If I could be any dinosaur I'd be an Ankylosaur

there has been many finds of feathered dinos in the past 5 years, all less closely related to birds than Deinonychus. In China they found a pair of feathered raptor chicks they named Microraptor.

Then it shouldn't be too hard to answer the question instead of avoiding it. All I want is a link to look at.

Hmmmm... far too many dinosaurs to choose from!

I can't believe all of these people know all of these different dinosaurs anyway. I guess I wasn't the only Dino freak as a kid.

Well, I'm going to go with Iguanadon. He gets a big THUMBS UP from me!

*Baddum tish!*




(For those who don't get it, Iguanadon is known for having a large spiked "thumb" that stuck up from its hand)

Iguanadon was also the ancestor of the duckbills (hadrosaurs), and was the first dinosaur to be discribed back in the early 1800's. The teeth of duckbills was made for grinding tough food, and the pads on thier hoeves, once mistaken for webs of skin, made them the antelope of the Late Cretaceous.

Edited for spelling

It's got big teeth and it's extinct. That's near enough.

Dear reader.

Please send help. I am being attacked be a pack of small and irritating reptiles who make incessant squeaking noises. I think they may be Pedantisauri.

You got pic of Lioplurodon from the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs program, didn't you. I can tell by the graphics.

I also have a favorite herbivore and carnivore.

The greatest carnivore ever is the fascinating Troodon. Smartest dinosaur to have existed, so say the ever popular paleontologists.

The best herbivore to have existed was the remarkable stegosaurus of the Jurassic Period. This dinosaur was beautifully portrayed by Spike, in the classic series, "Land Before Time".
