so everyone like's dinosaurs right? Of course you do or at least you did when you were kid, especially in the 90's with Jurassic park and it's sequel. Now i would like to discuss what your favorite dinosaur is and if you would like you can describe how it was depicted in any of the Jurassic park movie. Now my favorite Dinosaur is Dilophosaurus. It lived during the early Jurassic and was one of the first larger predatory dinosaurs. It was 20 fet long and about as tall as the average man. It's called Dliphosaurus which means to crested lizard because it had two side by side crests on it's head. Both males and females had the crests so their use is debated. Now in Jurassic park it is instead depicted as a much small animal and is more of a poison spitting frilled lizard. I've always hated how it's depicted as i think how it really was would have been much more appealing to see. But that;s how it was in the book i guess so whatever.
Favorite Dinosaurs And Jurassic Park

I remember having to go to a Santa grotto when I was a kid twice on the same day because the first time he gave me a book on dinosaurs, and I didn't want that, so I went and pretended I was a girl so I could get a doll or something ('cause I loved dolls as a child).
That's the only memory I have of loving dinosaurs.

Now that I think about it, though, I have a poster of a fossil on my wall, so I must like 'em a tiny bit.

Well dolls are cool to i guess. Ooh what kind of fossil?
Tyrannosaurus. Just the skull. I think it was out of a magazine and I thought it was sweet.
Ah yes the tyrant lizard king, nice choice.
I loved dinosaurs as a kid and I still find them fascinating to this day. I don't think I've ever had a favorite dinosaur but I really like Ankylosaurus and Carnotaurus (that's one freaky scary dino) to name just a couple. Sadly, none of them appeared in the Jurassic Park movie/s.
Unfortunately no. Yeah Carnotaurus means meat eating bull so it's got a cool name.

No Birdo is best dinosaur.
Apatosaurus is my favorite followed by Elasmosaurus. I would say more so due to Land Before Time growing up for the first and for the second I love water species and they're pretty much like a water apatosaurus anyways with their long necks. :3

An important link, and it is correct.
I love how they were depicted in Jurassic park and is why I like them as much as I do. A lot of other dinosaurs are depicted falsely in it, mostly in size. And it's kind of sad that people just assume everything is correct in the movies, when like MOST of the dinosaurs in it aren't even from the Jurassic period to begin with. But I still enjoy the movies for what they are and look forward to the new one as well.

I like the triceratops, I like dinosaurs but I was never a massive fan, I loved the land before time as a child and liked Jurassic Park too, I recently re-watched them and Jurassic World with my partner (he really likes dinosaurs & Jurassic Park!) which was fun!
They've never been something that I'm super interested in, but I love seeing them at museums too!

I never liked them as a kid but I completely fell in love with the Brachiosaurus brancai display in Berlin's Natural History Museum a few months back.
Yeah i'm sure it was really impressive of a display huh?

I've always absolutely adored Jurassic Park and dinosaurs ever since I was a kid. Jurassic Park is a really important thing in my life (oh god that sounds uber dumb) and I collect the toys and merchandise from it. It's one of those things I always latched onto as a kid, along with my numerous other odd special interests. I was also told that as a kid I enjoyed watching The Land Before Time movies, like, nonstop.
My favorite dinosaurs (I did 2 because I like them both equally) would be Parasaurolophus which unfortunately had barely any screentime in the films. In the first film you see a herd of them by a watering hole, in the scene where they first go to Jurassic Park; here's a video because I'm bad at explaining. And then the Spinosaurus, who's the star of the third Jurassic Park film.
As for the depiction of Dilophosaurus, most of Jurassic Parks depictions are incorrect, it's just hollywood being hollywood unfortunately. Although they did take a step in the right direction with the character design of the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park lll, they seemed to have abandoned any sort of idea for having "correct" depictions of some species.
