Famous Dinosaurs List With Pictures And Interesting Facts
May 15, 2024 - It should come as no surprise that the number one dinosaur in this list of the most famous dinosaurs is… Tyrannosaurus Rex. It says much about the popularity of this dinosaur that Tyrannosaurus Rex is one of the few dinosaurs to be known by its species name, rather than by the wider genus name.

To explain my methodology to get this first draft of a list, I included every dinosaur with at least 200k search results on google, then added a couple extra dinos that I thought were important enough to be included. This of course is a very flawed system, so I'm hoping this Sub will help me fill in the gaps. The general criteria I'm looking for is dinosaurs that hold some notable historical, biological, or pop culture significance. World record dinos is something I am trying to include as well. I didn't include any dinos like Brontosaurus and Dracorex however as current scientific knowledge suggests that these were actually preexisting species. If I accidentally included any dinos that also fall in that category, let me know.

Gotta include Hylaeosaurus in there. It was one of the first three along with Megalosaurus and Iguanodon

What Are the Most Popular Dinosaurs? | Dino Guide
This group of dinosaurs survived across the span of 150 million years, which means they thrived through the entire dinosaur age. During their existence, the pterosaurs evolved into several different species with unique traits such as slender jaws, elaborate head crests and specially developed teeth. Although pterosaurs were carnivores, they mostly survived on a diet of fish and other small animals. The ever-popular pterodactyl was the largest species to have ever flown.

r/Dinosaurs on Reddit: What are the "Big 5" most famous/popular dinosaurs?
August 3, 2023 -

In my head, it's always tyrannosaurus, triceratops, stegosaurus, apatosaurus, and velociraptor.

My wife says brachiosaurus is a better "definitive sauropod".

I can also see pteranodon replacing velociraptor as the fifth, or deinonychus replacing velociraptor because it's pretty much the animal people are actually thinking of.

What do you think?

Trex, velociraptor, triceratops, Stegosaurus and Brachiosaurus although most people would call the last a long neck.

Tyrannosaurus- I don’t think it’s a big debate. It’s the Tyrant Lizard King, I doubt there’s a dinosaur fan who doesn’t know it. Velociraptor- 100% due to the Jurassic Park/World franchise. Most folks might not know what a velociraptor actually looks like, but they know the name. Triceratops- this might be my USA centric view, but I think it’s the most popular ceratopsian. Styracosaraus might be popular over seas, but hard to beat the rival of the T-Rex. Stegosaurus- it’s one of the first dinosaurs a kid probably ever sees. I’m betting most people could pick it out among other Dino’s. Brachiosaurus- I mean the name makes the emoji 🦕. Besides when most people think sauropod I think they goto the towering behemoths like this over the long and lanky behemoths like apatosaurus. Honorable mentions: Spinosaurus, Carnotaurus, Pterodactyl/Dimetrodon (excluded for not being Dinos), Ankylosaurus, Allosaurus, and iguanodon.

June 15, 2022 - I think the only "top-tier" dinosaur you're missing is Ankylosaurus. ... idk if i'd add dilophosaurus on this list, but i still find it funny that most people are more likely to recognize it for the frills it had in jurassic park than they are for the way the animal actually looked haha ... I feel like Ankys, Paras and Spinos are also fairly popular.

It’s undoubtedly one of the most impressive dinos around, which is why we love it so much. ... Triceratops fascinates adults and kids alike due to its bizarre appearance. Like a kind of prehistoric rhino, it boasted a large frill around its head - the purpose of which is still debated among scientists - and three curved horns that could be used in self defence. Despite its dangerous appearance, Triceratops was a slow moving, plant eating dinosaur. ... Another popular dinosaur among children is the Stegosaurus.
