Irish Elk ([i]Megaloceros giganteus[/i]) were pretty cool.

All of you who are saying dodos, moas, phorusrhacos, etc... you lose, those [b]are[/b] dinosaurs. xD

And all the proto-mammals and early synapsids! Since gorgonopsids have already been mentioned, how about cynodonts? Definitely one of my fave ancestors.

Quetzalcoatls. They are huge and terrifying. Actually, pterosaurs in general are. Quetzalcoatls are HUGE, though. So.[img]http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/q/quetzalcoatlus-size.jpg[/img] And that's the lower estimate! Huge animals facinate me, but most are extinct, so that kinda sucks. (I'm glad though, lol)

@Charias
Lol I knew that argument was gonna come up eventually. Yes they're technically dinos, but, they're closer to modern birds than dinosaurs are and it's at that point that we start calling them birds instead of dinos, so I count them in this thread.
Also[i] we used to be so cute what happened[/i]
and for all the people posting pteradactyls: unpopular opinion I don't really like them they creep me the h e c c out their heads are too big for their bodies

They're not my favorite extinct animal but prehistoric horses (as a very broad statement)

are something I think about a lot, and I honestly don't know why, they're not particularly interesting or anything, especially not next to the rest of the prehistoric mammals at any point in time
Shoutout to the person who put Irish Elk on this thread though, that just changed my life haha
