I’m a big fan of the thesaurus
I kinda got into dinosaurs as a kid. Today, there are so many different collections of dinosaurs in various encyclopedias. My favorite from the new books is Micropachycephalosauarus. Just the idea that a little dino, like tini little guy, was running around headbutting things cracks me up.
I hope it brings you joy to know that “dinosaur” kids are still memorizing these ever-growing lists. I work with kids, and the big dinosaur fan is still teaching me new dino things almost every day. We recently learned of a dinosaur that is basically another student’s name +saurus. That was a cute discovery.
He looks like a Compsognathus kinda guy.
(For the non-dino nerds Compsognathus means “pretty jaw”.)
I’m a pachycephalosaurus guy myself.
Would have been slightly funnier and nerdier with the Dimetrodon IMHO.
My favorite is the Gallus gallus domesticus.
But which came first, the gallus gallus domesticus or the ovum?
My favorite is spinosaurus! The fact that it is fully aquatic is so interesting!
Only semi /s
Is there a good reason why dinosaur is only terrestrial extinct reptiles (and a subset at that)?
Do we have a handy term that includes plesiasaur, pteradons and dactyls, as well as dinosaurs?

Disregarding fictionality, it also includes moths, at least one plant, and maybe arachnids (and controversially perhaps, an ape).
And robots. Don’t forget the robots.
Also, smog.
My favorite dinosaur is the flamingo
