My 3 year old says Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus and Parasaurolophus. Me, I'm just surprised and amused that me can remember and name so many complicated dinosaur names at that age.

Ankylosaurus is the only acceptable answer.

Which is mostly joking, but what's wonderful is pretty much everyone has a favorite dinosaur, though they might not have thought of it in a long time

I just googled, he's an excellent choice!

Seconded. It's like a rhino but with even more armor and weaponry.

Great description!

I like the titanosaurs in general - they look at the same time majestic and goofy. Like Patagotitan mayorum:
Scale diagram showing Patagotitan mayorum alongside two humans. The background is made of squares, each representing a square metre; the humans don't reach two squares of height each, while the dino is 13 squares tall, 26 long.

and Udelartitan celeste:
Artistic representation of Udelartitan celeste.

As far as I know the P. mayorum was the biggest land animal to ever exist, as it could reach up to 30-something metres. The U. celeste is smaller, "only" 16m long.

Fun fact: the trees in the artistic rendition of the U. celeste are likely close relatives to this one from my banner.

Ducks. Chickens are a close second.

Triceratops.

The tortoise-looking one with mace at the tip of its tail.

And coelacanth.

Stegosaurus.

Denver, the last one.
