Everyone has a favorite dinosaur!

What's yours? Are you a fan of the sharp-toothed, meat-eating predators? If so, your favorite may be Tyrannosaurus rex. Or the sickle-clawed Deinonychus. Or T. rex's nasty cousin, Tarbosaurus. Or the horned killer Ceratosaurus.

Perhaps you prefer the plant-eating giants. If so, your favorite dinosaur may be the massive Apatosaurus (formerly called Brontosaurus). Or the tallest dinosaur, Brachiosaurus.

If your favorites are the armored dinosaurs, you'll find plenty of them here, too, like Polacanthus, often called a "walking tank." Or you may like Stegosaurus and its kin. Or you may prefer the duckbilled dinosaurs, like Parasaurolophus, Lambeosaurus, and Corythosaurus.

Strange-looking dinosaurs, plant-eaters that walked on two legs as well as all four, dinosaurs that had snouts like crocodiles, meat-eating dinosaurs in all sizes and shapes, dinosaurs that looked like birds, dinosaurs that were birds . . . all are here for your viewing pleasure.

Learn about dinosaurs you never heard of before. Discover old friends and find new favorites.
