#1 Blikanasaurus

Blikanasaurus is voted the first most elegant dinosaurs with 146 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 Sinosaurus

Sinosaurus is voted the second most elegant dinosaurs with 141 votes.

Sinosaurus

Sinosaurus (meaning "Chinese lizard") was a tetanuran theropod dinosaur which lived during the Early Jurassic Period. It was a bipedal carnivore approximately 5.6 metres (18 feet) in length. Fossils of the animal were found at the Lufeng Formation, in the Yunnan Province of China.

#3 Chuandongocoelurus

Chuandongocoelurus is voted the third most elegant dinosaurs with 137 votes.

Chuandongocoelurus

Chuandongocoelurus (/tʃwɑːnˌdɒŋəsɪˈljʊərəs/ chwahn-DONG-ə-si-LEWR-əs) is a genus of carnivorous tetanuran theropod dinosaur from the Jurassic of China. The type species Chuandongocoelurus primitivus was first described and named by Chinese paleontologist He Xinlu in 1984. The generic name combines references to the Chuandong in Sichuan Province and the theropod genus Coelurus, itself named after the Greek κοῖλος, koilos, meaning "hollow" and οὐρά, oura, meaning "tail".

#4 Montanoceratops

Montanoceratops is voted the fourth most elegant dinosaurs with 137 votes.

Montanoceratops

Montanoceratops /mɒnˌtænoʊˈsɛrətɒps/ is an extinct genus of small ceratopsian dinosaur that lived approximately 70 million years ago during the latter part of the Cretaceous Period in what is now Montana and Alberta. Montanoceratops was a small sized, moderately-built, ground-dwelling, quadrupedal herbivore, that could grow up to an estimated 3 m (9.8 ft) long. Montanoceratops was a typical primitive ceratopsian in many respects, distinguished from the later species by the presence of claws, rather than hooves, and by having teeth in its upper jaw, rather than a toothless beak.

#5 Carcharodontosaurus

Carcharodontosaurus is voted the fifth most elegant dinosaurs with 136 votes.

Carcharodontosaurus

Carcharodontosaurus /ˌkɑːrkəroʊˌdɒntoʊˈsɔːrəs/ is a genus of carnivorous carcharodontosaurid dinosaurs that existed during the Cenomanian stage of the mid-Cretaceous Period. It is currently known to include two species: C. saharicus and C.

#6 Bolong

Bolong is voted the sixth most elegant dinosaurs with 135 votes.

Bolong

Bolong (meaning "small dragon") is a genus of iguanodontian dinosaur known from the Early Cretaceous-age Yixian Formation of western Liaoning Province, China. It lived about 125 million years ago in the earliest Aptian.It was named by Wu Wen-hao, Pascal Godefroit and Hu Dong-yu in 2010 and the type species is Bolong yixianensis. The genus name is derived from the Chinese Bao, "small", and lung, "dragon", a reference to its small size.

#7 Arcovenator

Arcovenator is voted the seventh most elegant dinosaurs with 134 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.
