Always picked ankylosaurus. The idea of being heavily armored and bashing things with a club was appealing.

Ok look it's kinda cliche but I'd want to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex because, well, look at it! It's a classic example of an apex predator especially one in prehistoric times.

Also I grew up watching MMPR and Walking with Dinosaurs.

I’d be the dinosaur that chose on accident at age 8 and has been my favorite ever since: Parasaurolophus

Triceratops or Stegosaurus.

Triceratops because of the cool three horns.

Stegosaurus because of the mohawk.

Indeed, I would also prefer to be one of the non-dead ones.

Bonus: you get to fly^1^.


^1^: Unless you pick an ostrich, penguin, or other flightless species.

Not a dinosaur, but: trilobite, so people would celebrate me with cookies
