Do you like the Brachiosaurus and the Brontosaurus as well? On account of their giraffe-like shapes?

@ErickaSimone @GhostOnTheHalfShell I am EXTREMELY disappointed to report that when I happily ran off to find a citation, I found exactly the opposite…

Just a moment...

Styracosaurus.

But I don't know anything about dinosaurs. It just looks good to me.

Brachiosaur yeah, brontosaur, it depends on the depiction of it. But with mamenchisaurus, it's neck just seems impossibly long (well some of them anyway).

@ErickaSimone Brachiosaurus, my dude*ttes!

@ErickaSimone paradaurolophus is one of the best

There was a convincing 2015 paper arguing otherwise and it's now considered a whole genus of 'saurs.

@ErickaSimone Stegosaurus for me too because "The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek" was one of my favourite books as a kid.

@ErickaSimone I gotta go with our phylogeny mad lad the #spinosaurus

[julianmaiz@mastodon.social]

@murdoc @ErickaSimone

Yeah now that you mention it, I looked up illustrations and the neck is just comically long... it's very cute.

@ErickaSimone

I have always been very fond of the Brontosaurus

[asweetgentleman@mstdn.social]

@ErickaSimone I've always been a Diplodocus person myself.
