Need a distraction?

@ErickaSimone Parasaurolophus is my choice. I love the thought of them roaming around, bipedal or quadrapedal, harmonising some super low notes like 75 million year old digeridoos. 🤭

Strictly, pterodactyls and all other pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs but flying reptiles …

Currently, I rather like the Spinosaurs:

Spinosauridae - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

most of which have a sail on their back, a head crest and impressive teeth.

I like how sleek, intelligent, and sociable they are. That why I enjoyed Blue so much, especially when she was demonstrating empathy.

I also like mamenchisaurs. That neck is really something. I wonder if it's related somehow to me liking giraffes?

@ErickaSimone of those on the diagram, Ankylosaurus. But I also love Pachycephalosaurus.

...I like dinosaurs that go bonk

@ErickaSimone Thank you for posting this, it feels sooo good to think about dinosaurs for a bit. Ankylosaurus is my number one ️

@ErickaSimone I’ll have to go with the diplodocus, my favourite episode on Walking with Dinosaurs back in the day.

[julianmaiz@mastodon.social]

@murdoc @ErickaSimone

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...

@ErickaSimone

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).

[lotharmucki@norden.social]

@ErickaSimone Brachiosaurus, my dude*ttes!

[azetbur@dresden.network]

@ErickaSimone paradaurolophus is one of the best
