What’s your favorite dinosaur and why? Mine is the baryonyx because I have always been fascinated with their cool look. They are practically mini spinosaurs and I have always been fascinated by small carnivores.

I don't think Baryonyx is a small carnivore...

I like the Ichthyovenator, it's basically an Irritator with a split sail. Majungasaurus is also pretty neat, I like Abelisaurs especially with their horns and tiny arms.

It’s medium-sized, similar to Allosaurus.I don't think Baryonyx is a small carnivore...
I think the word you are looking for is "big"
Yi Qi is probably my most favourite. It got bat like membrane for flight so i think that's special.

Deinocheirus has become a big favorite of mine ever since it turned out to be extremely unique. Basically a giant camel-bear-ostrich.
My favorite childhood ones would be "Troodon" (now Stenonychosaurus/Latenivenatrix) and Deinonychus.

Oh I forgot about Deinocheirus, and for the record, it's a great camel-bear-pelican, you can't forget about that beak.
As in Allosaurus, the genus which averaged 10 metres long but is believed to have reached sizes of up to 13 metres, the same size as the largest known specimens of Tyrannosaurus?

You're both wrong - it was a giant camel-bear-horse-spoonbill

At least I didn't say ostrich...As in Allosaurus, the genus which averaged 10 metres long but is believed to have reached sizes of up to 13 metres, the same size as the largest known specimens of Tyrannosaurus?

Yi's my favorite, those bat wings are great. Basically prehistoric mini-wyverns! I remember when they were first discovered and everyone compared them to dragons. Also, an artist predicted it when they drew Epidexipteryx with wing membranes.
Brachytrachelopan is a close second. I just like the idea of a traditionally long-necked dinosaur going the complete opposite direction.

Also, CHONK.
I have a bit of a thing for medium-sized theropods, particularly Baryonyx and the Megalosaurids, as well as all the Tyrannosaurids in that size range (Lythronax, Alioramus, that sort of thing)
Bee Hummingbird, the dinosaur that thinks it is a butterfly!

I agree with @Ursus and @Tetzoo Quizzer , I much prefer the still living dinosaurs.

My favorite dinosaur is probably the T-Rex or the triceratops.
Definitely the Tarchia! A lesser known species of Ankylosaur. Close second is the Shunosaurus though, the honorary ank!
