#1 Xixianykus
Xixianykus is voted the first most clumsy dinosaurs with 221 votes.
Xixianykus
Xixianykus is a genus of alvarezsauroid theropod dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period of China.The fossil, holotype XMDFEC V0011, was found in the Majiacun Formation in Henan Province, China. The fossil consists of a partial skeleton, without the skull. Parts of the hind legs, pelvis and spine has also been recovered.
#2 Dravidosaurus
Dravidosaurus is voted the second most clumsy dinosaurs with 178 votes.
Dravidosaurus
Dravidosaurus (meaning "Dravidanadu lizard", Dravidanadu being a region in the southern part of India where the remains were discovered) is a controversial genus of prehistoric reptile. It was first described as the last surviving stegosaurian, the group of "plated" dinosaurs. With an estimated length of three metres (10 ft), it would have also been the smallest member of the group.
#3 Plesiosaurus
Plesiosaurus is voted the third most clumsy dinosaurs with 165 votes.
Plesiosaurus
Plesiosaurus (Greek: πλησιος/plesios, near to + σαυρος/sauros, lizard) is a genus of extinct, large marine sauropterygian reptile that lived during the early part of the Jurassic Period, and is known by nearly complete skeletons from the Lias of England. It is distinguishable by its small head, long and slender neck, broad turtle-like body, a short tail, and two pairs of large, elongated paddles. It lends its name to the order Plesiosauria, of which it is an early, but fairly typical member.
#4 Acristavus
Acristavus is voted the fourth most clumsy dinosaurs with 159 votes.
Acristavus
A. gagslarsoni Gates et al., 2011 (type) Acristavus is a genus of saurolophine dinosaur. Fossils have been found from the Campanian Two Medicine Formation in Montana and Wahweap Formation in Utah, United States.
#5 Giraffatitan
Giraffatitan is voted the fifth most clumsy dinosaurs with 154 votes.
Giraffatitan
Giraffatitan, meaning "titanic giraffe", is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived during the late Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian–Tithonian stages). It was originally named as an African species of Brachiosaurus (B. brancai) but this has since been changed. Giraffatitan was for many decades known as the largest dinosaur but recent discoveries of several larger dinosaurs prove otherwise: giant titanosaurians appear to have surpassed Giraffatitan in terms of sheer mass.
#6 Shanxia
Shanxia is voted the sixth most clumsy dinosaurs with 153 votes.
Shanxia
Shanxia is a genus of ankylosaurid dinosaur that lived during the upper Cretaceous Period. Its fossils were recovered and named after the Shanxi Province of China, and it is known only from scrappy remains found in river deposits. Based on the relative lengths of the femur and other leg bones, it probably reached a length of around 3.6 metres (12 ft).
#7 Jeholopterus
Jeholopterus is voted the seventh most clumsy dinosaurs with 152 votes.
Jeholopterus
Jeholopterus was a small anurognathid pterosaur from the Middle to Late Jurassic Daohugou Beds of the Tiaojishan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China, preserved with hair-like pycnofibres and skin remains. The genus was named in 2002 by Wang Xiaolin, Zhou Zhonghe and Xu Xing. The type species, the only known, is Jeholopterus ninchengensis.
