After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that’s sad.
My current one’s the Anchiornis, because it’s in the same clade as birds so it’s in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked very birb-y:
(Figured I’d just turn an earlier comment into an actual post because why not)
I just have a soft spot for triceratops.
Same. Because triceratops have none.
It’s like a rhino with even more armor and horns, what’s not to like?
I used to think liking triceratops is dumb when there’s likes of centrosaurus and styracosaurus, but over the years I’ve come to appreciate the classic design.
Design. Right.
Movie depictions of Triceratops rub me the wrong way. Never liked Sarah in Land Before Time and my daughter loves Ice Age Buck Wild and the triceratops is the bad guy in that, too. They do triceratops dirty.
Actually guy in buck wild may be a monoclonius 🤔
My favorite cartoon as a kid had a triceratops at a hero. I don’t remember much about it and can’t find it listed online but it might have been from 1970s and I really just remember the triceratops charging at the bad guys, shooting lasers out of his horns
Herculoids?
I Think you found it! THANK YOU
The name “Herculoids” seems familiar and the Wikipedia description of Tundro is right on!
However the thumbnails don’t seem to be quite the appearance I remembered, but maybe that’s just poor memory
Woo-hoo, go, Tundro
Edit: maybe my memory is conflating multiple shows but this must be part of it. Holy crap, how did I like this? Watching it now, it was so bad
And how did this pedo episode ever air? “Hey kids, come on into my white windowless van. I’ll take you far from here and make your wishes come true”. This could have used a little stranger danger!” Mania, but predates that
Bionatops from He Man?
No, I never saw he-man as a kid
Oh ok, hope you find the right answer!👍
Dino Riders?
A triceraton from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
Dinosaucers?
Beyond that, not sure what futuristic triceratops there was.
Completely understandable! They’re a classic
