All animals are awesome, even if they're long gone and all that's left of them lives in backyard chickens.

Look, dinosaurs are cool. Every kid had a dinosaur phase. If you didn't have one, what kind of childhood did you even have? My favorite dinosaur was the Ankylosaurus. It's the heavily armored one with a tail that looks like a hammer and spikes all over its back. They were like the tanks of the Cretaceous period, which is the one that saw everything end when the dinosaurs went extinct around 66 million years ago. When I think about it now, it all fits with the fact that my favorite starter Pokémon was Bulbasaur - I just like the stocky and tanky things.

Besides paleontologists, who made dinosaurs their actual bread and butter, most of us grew out of this phase. But it doesn't mean none of us ever stopped liking dinosaurs. I still think they're really cool. Megafauna that ruled the Earth for a gajillion million years - how could they not be cool in anyone's eyes? Well, maybe I didn't grow out of my dinosaur phase completely. I might not know to tell you all the cool facts about them, like the actual dinosaur kid you've had in class (everybody had one), but I honestly still think they're the coolest creatures to have ever roamed the Earth.

And besides, we're animal lovers here. We can easily admit that all animals should be loved equally. Yes, even the weirdest animals out there in the wild. Every living thing deserves some love from animal lovers. So I bring some love to dinosaurs today, in the form of a bunch of memes every animal lover can enjoy. Because dinosaurs are so coooooool! They deserve to be appreciated by everyone. And it doesn't matter that they're not here anymore.

  • There he is! My favorite dinosaur. Ankylosauruses are just so cool and apparently make for funny memes as well. But that's not a competition - every dinosaur is great meme material. We don't know what they looked like, and they're so cool you just want to pay them a tribute. Hence the memes.

  • And now, for a bonus meme that's not about a dinosaur, but about another ancient animal - the Pochitaserra. It was a kind of sawshark (yes, saw + shark = coooooool!) that swam around here millions of years ago. A very cool fact about the Pochitaserra is that it got its name from anime. Yes, you read that correctly. There's a cute little creature in the anime Chainsaw Man (by Tatsuki Fujimoto) of an adorable chainsaw-headed Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. So… Pochita to Pochitaserra… got it?  The co-author of the study about the discovery of Pochitaserra, Martín Chávez-Hoffmeister, said that scientists tend to be a bit geeky, and anime culture is popular among them. The team chose the pop-culture name to make the discovery memorable and to inspire younger generations to get excited about paleontology. I know it gets me excited to know this fact!
