      Tomorrow sees the auction of Vulcain, an apatosaurus skeleton that is the largest dinosaur ever offered for sale

      As a survey guy, one thing I’ve wanted to answer for a long time is: “who doesn’t love dinosaurs?” Our survey shows that half of the British public say they love (15%) or like (34%) dinosaurs – and while 47% are indifferent, only 3% say they dislike or hate them

      Young adults are far more likely to enjoy dinosaurs than their elders (63% of 18-24 year olds vs 29% of 65+ year olds), and men are more likely to do so than women (54% vs 44%)

      But more importantly, what is the public’s favourite dinosaur? We asked the 1,000 people from the poll who said they loved or liked dinosaurs, and the T-Rex came on top at 30%, followed by Stegosaurus at 12% (my own choice) and Triceratops on 11%.

      Velociraptors came fifth on 7% – although many people might feel different if they knew the truth: that raptors depicted in Jurassic Park are actually based on the much larger and related genus Deinonychus, and that true Velociraptors were actually the size of a turkey!

      most surprising thing here is Diplo somehow beating out Bronto and Brachio as the favored Longneck

      While I’m not surprised, I was hoping for carnotaurus to be on the list

      The problem with velociraptors is that they are popular because people think they looked totally different than they actually did

    11. DinoAnkylosaurus on

      I made the to 10!

      I need to work on my media presence, though, to get higher on the list. I’m aiming for a solid 5%.

      T-Rex? Really? just because it has most airtime and commonly known… There is so much more to a dinosaur than sharp teeth. #notmydinosaur #dinosour

    19. thebestdogeevr on

      T rex is probably most popular cuz it’s the one most people know

      No Iguanodon pride ?

      First dinosaur discovered. Found in Britain.

      Skipping the fact that dinosaurs are objectively interesting to many people, this chart is literally just different sized circles. This is, while interesting, absolutely not DataIs**Beautiful** material.

      More like “what dinosaurs can Britain actually name when on the spot?”

    26. Popuppete on

      I thought Britain would have more love for the OG’s – Iguanodon and Megalosaurus.

      Those home town hero’s are what started all this fascination with prehistoric behemoths.

      I wanna see a poll on this but from BEFORE the Jurassic park movies where out

    30. scarabic on

      I’ve been thinking a lot about how scientists are starting to think that many dinosaurs had feathers and could have looked even more like birds that these big leathery skinned reptiles, and it just has me wondering WTF that would mean for the TRex: was it some 2 story tall carnivorous fucking megacluck chicken from hell? That’s even more terrifying.
