#1 Blikanasaurus
Blikanasaurus is voted the first most elegant dinosaurs with 124 votes.
Blikanasaurus
Blikanasaurus (meaning "Blikana lizard") is a genus of sauropodomorph dinosaur from the late Triassic of what is now South Africa. Known from a left lower limb only, its remains were found in Lower Elliot Formation rocks near the Blikana location in what is now the Eastern Cape Province. The type specimen is housed in the South African Museum in Cape Town.
#2 Iguanodon
Iguanodon is voted the second most elegant dinosaurs with 116 votes.
Iguanodon
†I. bernissartensis Boulenger, 1881 †I. galvensis Verdú et al., 2015Iguanodon (/ɪˈɡwɑːnədɒn/ i-GWAH-nə-don; meaning "iguana-tooth") is a genus of ornithopod dinosaur that existed roughly halfway between the first of the swift bipedal hypsilophodontids of the mid-Jurassic and the duck-billed dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous.
#3 Argentinosaurus
Argentinosaurus is voted the third most elegant dinosaurs with 115 votes.
Argentinosaurus
Argentinosaurus (meaning "Argentine lizard") is a genus of titanosaur sauropod dinosaur first discovered by Guillermo Heredia in Argentina. The generic name refers to the country in which it was discovered. The dinosaur lived on the then-island continent of South America somewhere between 97 and 93.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.
#4 Abydosaurus
Abydosaurus is voted the fourth most elegant dinosaurs with 114 votes.
Abydosaurus
Abydosaurus (meaning "Abydos lizard") is a genus of brachiosaurid sauropod dinosaur known from skull and postcranial material found in upper Lower Cretaceous rocks of northeastern Utah, United States. Abydosaurus is one of the few sauropods known from skull material, with the first described complete skull for a Cretaceous sauropod from the Americas. It is also notable for its narrow teeth, as earlier brachiosaurids had broader teeth.Abydosaurus is based on DINO 16488, a nearly complete skull and lower jaws with the first four neck vertebrae.
#5 Anserimimus
Anserimimus is voted the fifth most elegant dinosaurs with 114 votes.
Anserimimus
Anserimimus(/ˌænsərɪˈmaɪməs/ AN-sər-i-MY-məs; "goose mimic") is a genus of ornithomimid theropod dinosaur, from the Late Cretaceous Period of what is now Mongolia. It was a lanky, fast-running animal, possibly an omnivore. From what fossils are known, it probably closely resembled other ornithomimids, except for its more powerful forelimbs.
#6 Arcovenator
Arcovenator is voted the sixth most elegant dinosaurs with 114 votes.
Arcovenator
Arcovenator ("Arc hunter") is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur hailing from the Late Cretaceous of France. The type and only described species is Arcovenator escotae.Though shallower, the nearly complete braincase of Arcovenator is otherwise similar in size to those of Majungasaurus and Carnotaurus; it was thus initially estimated as being about 5–6 metres (16–20 ft) long, but it was estimated more recently in 2016 as being 4.8 metres (16 ft) in length. The skull roof exhibits as a unique diagnostic character a midline foramen, possibly housing the pineal gland, situated on the posterior surface of a slight dome formed by frontal bones as moderately thick as in Aucasaurus, thus less so than for Rajasaurus, though more than those of Rugops.
#7 Balaur
Balaur is voted the seventh most elegant dinosaurs with 114 votes.
Balaur
A balaur is a creature in Romanian folklore, similar to a European dragon. A balaur is quite large, has fins, feet, and is polycephalous (it usually has three, sometimes seven, or even twelve serpent heads). As a traditional character which is found in most Romanian fairy tales, it represents Evil and must be defeated by Făt-Frumos in order to release the princess.
