Quetzalcoatl is different to Quetzalcoatlus. Quetzalcoatl was a Mesoamerican god who bears the form of a feathered serpent. Quetzalcoatlus on the other hand is a peterosaur from the late cretaceous period that resided in north america (mostly Texas). I presume that Quetzalcoatlus is named after Quetzalcoatl.
What's your favoirite DINOSAUR

I know but still its strange that no one has noticed the name. i guess its not very well known.
I suppose you're right. I wouldn't have heard of it if I hadn't had to write a carping 15 page essay on pterosaurs.

IT'S A FLYING GIRAFFE FROM HELL
giraffes are cool and so r they
My fave dinosaur is a diplodicus (sp?).
It's gotta be the Appalachiosaurus.
I find it simply astounding how much they can glean from such little evidence of it's existance.

T-rex
Since it is the only correct answer, I say quetzalcoatlus. But seriously, they are the coolest pterosaurs, even though my true favorite will always be velociraptor. Also, I had heard about quetzalcoatlus before, thanks to my good memory and obsession with dinosaurs as a younger kid .
Triceratops

I was a huge dinosaur fan as a kid, so I'm surprised I haven't commented on this yet.
When I was little, my favourites were Diplodocus and Triceratops. Now though, I'm going to have to say Tyrannosaurus rex.
EDIT: Stegosaurus is cool too.

Spinosaurus ftw! I don't like him because he killed t-rex in jurassic park 3 but he just looks awsome and technically he is the largest carnivour. Second favourite is saichania becuase it has spikes all over its body. And last but not least there is Pachycephalosaurus. I mean who doesn't like that old bone-head.
I thought quetzalcoatlus was a pterosaur not a dinosaur.
