Controversial. Suffice to say the T. rex fanboys probably wont like it...

Paleontologists have named over a thousand dinosaur species, but only a select few of them have saturated popular culture to the extent that they're instantly recognizable. There are about a dozen or so dinosaurs that should commit to memory a while reading this right now, lest you be accused of falling behind the prehistoric times.

Now a panel of experts in various scientific fields, led by leading paleontologist John R. "Jack" Horner, have decided once and for all which of these 'thunder lizards' was truly the greatest.

Fanboy? Moi?

I can't begin to say how many ways I disagree with the outcome.

There are two types of Dino. T-Rex, and 'others'...

Horner. Always Horner.

He should dedicate more time to fossil hunting and less to deciding what animals are "the best" as if he had some sort of divine authority on the matter... not saying that the dinosaur they chose isn´t friggin awesome, cuz it is... but so are all other dinosaurs and this kind of thing is completely subjective.
