Fond memories of teasing my sister, calling he Petrie from the Land Before Time series. I think they are on movie #4,280 by now.

There are exactly as many Land Before Time movies as there are Wheel of Time novels.

Coincidence? Or something more... sinister?

Not my favorite, but I feel like Dippy and Fredosaurus Rex deserve a mention here as well, if for nothing else than their sartorial choices:

I know it's boring to say T-Rex, but I am going to say T-Rex.

They were the world's first small arms specialists.

Why is there not a "groan" reaction?

I need to post another one because I still love dinos!

Therizinosaurus is great for a number of reasons...

1) it's a theropod that evolved into an herbivore (kind of like how a panda is the descendant of omnivorous bears, but is an herbivore)

2) it has enormous claws... that it likely used to strip bark off of trees

3) its name means "scythe lizard"

4) it was likely covered in feathers, so it might have looked something like this:

It looks like the love child of the Loch Ness monster, Freddy Kreuger and an ornamental duck.
