9 Dinosaurs That Were Hilariously Dorky

Get ready to meet the "you" of the dinosaur world.

Dinosaurs are awesome. Great big, reptilian badasses that ruled the earth for 165 million years with huge teeth, terrifying claws and a ferocious roar that would make the Earth shake. Well, some of them were anyway. The dinosaurs that we're all used to seeing were more like the jock footballers of the prehistoric world, there were plenty of dorky matheletes with stress-induced asthma and built up shoes too. Okay, so they didn't have the imposing brawn of the T Rex, the sexy agility of Coelophysis, the quick wit of Allosaur, or the killer bling of the Stegosaurus, but they were an essential part of the prehistoric pecking order. If Mean Girls has taught us anything, it's that a Queen Bee is nothing without the worker bees. So if you're sick of hearing all about the big, flashy dinosaurs, how about a bit of dino dorkiness that we can all relate to (I'm assuming you can relate to them, you are reading an article about dinosaurs after all)?
