#1 Torosaurus
Torosaurus is voted the first most scruffy dinosaurs with 55 votes.
Torosaurus
Torosaurus ("perforated lizard", in reference to the large openings in its frill) is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the late Maastrichtian stage of the Cretaceous period, between 68 and 66 million years ago, though it is possible that the species range might extend to as far as 69 million years ago. Fossils have been discovered across the Western Interior of North America, from Saskatchewan to southern Texas. Torosaurus possessed one of the largest skulls of any known land animal.
#2 Tochisaurus
Tochisaurus is voted the second most scruffy dinosaurs with 55 votes.
Tochisaurus
Tochisaurus (meaning "Ostrich lizard") is a genus of small troodontid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period of Mongolia. The type (and only named) species is Tochisaurus nemegtensis. In 1948, a Soviet-Mongolian expedition found the remains of a small theropod in the Gobi Desert near Nemegt.
#3 Tonganosaurus
Tonganosaurus is voted the third most scruffy dinosaurs with 54 votes.
Tonganosaurus
Tonganosaurus (named for the town of Tong'an from where it was found) is a genus of mamenchisaurid sauropod dinosaur, similar to Omeisaurus. It is known from one specimen consisting of twenty vertebrae, a front limb and pectoral girdle, and a complete hind limb with partial hip. It lived during the early Jurassic period (Pliensbachian - Toarcian, Yimen Formation) in what is now China.
#4 Torvosaurus
Torvosaurus is voted the fourth most scruffy dinosaurs with 53 votes.
Torvosaurus
Torvosaurus (/ˌtɔːrvoʊˈsɔːrəs/) is a genus of carnivorous megalosaurid theropod dinosaurs that lived approximately 153 to 148 million years ago during the later part of the Jurassic Period in what is now Colorado and Portugal. It contains two currently recognized species, Torvosaurus tanneri and Torvosaurus gurneyi. In 1979 the type species Torvosaurus tanneri was named: it was a large, heavily built, bipedal carnivore, that could grow to a length of about 10 m (33 ft).
#5 Titanosaurus
Titanosaurus is voted the fifth most scruffy dinosaurs with 52 votes.
Titanosaurus
Titanosaurus (meaning 'titanic lizard' – named after the mythological Titans, deities of Ancient Greece) is a dubious genus of sauropod dinosaurs, first described by Lydekker in 1877. It is known from the Maastrichtian (Upper Cretaceous) Lameta Formation of India. Titanosaurus is estimated to have grown up to 9–12 metres (30–40 ft) long and up to approximately 13 tons in weight.
#6 Tornieria
Tornieria is voted the sixth most scruffy dinosaurs with 52 votes.
Tornieria
Gigantosaurus africanus Fraas, 1908 Tornieria ("for Tornier") is a genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaur from Late Jurassic of Tanzania. It has a convoluted taxonomic history. In 1907, German paleontologist Eberhard Fraas who was working the Tendaguru Beds in German East Africa (presently Tanzania), discovered two sauropod specimens at a single site ("Quarry A").
#7 Traukutitan
Traukutitan is voted the seventh most scruffy dinosaurs with 51 votes.
Traukutitan
T. eocaudata Juárez Valieri & Calvo 2011 (type) Traukutitan is a genus of possible lognkosaurian titanosaur sauropod dinosaur which lived during the late Cretaceous (Santonian age). Fossils of Traukutitan were recovered from the lowermost section of the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Neuquén Group) in North Patagonia of Argentina and described but not named in 1993 by Leonardo Salgado and Jorge Orlando Calvo.Traukutitan was named by Rubén Darío Juárez Valieri and Calvo in 2011 on the basis of holotype MUCPv 204, a partial semi-articulated skeleton including both thigh bones and thirteen vertebrae from the anterior and middle tail.
