As a child T-REX was the King although I did like the plucky TRICERATOPS - The giant BRONTOSAURUS and graceful PTERODACTYL, sluggish STEGOSAURUS and 'dead hard' ANKYLOSAURUS - all members of DINO club. Post "Jurassic park" the rise of RAPTORS and SPINOSAURUS seemed to capture the imagination - although for longevity and legacy, I now have a liking for the predecessors (of Alligator) DEINOSUCHUS and (Crocodile) SARCOSUCHUS .
This thread has me feeling all geeky, reading about dinosaurs. I love me some good prehistoric animals.
