The dinosaur with the most horns still has the most horns. Present tense is acceptable in reference to the record.

Roosters have one horn at least.

I immediately thought styracosaur, but I guess I'd need a definition of horn. Does and anklyosaur count? They've got spikes, but not really horns. Do the spikes on a pachycephalosaur count? Do they have to be facing foreward? Do they have to be on the head?

Now I feel like I don't know as much about dinosaurs as I once did.

Birds are literal dinosaurs. Not descended from dinosaurs but living dinosaurs.

Name the living dinosaur that has the dead ones beat in the horns department

Right. We're talking about dinosaurs

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I know, they're robo dinosaurs

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure none of the currently living dinosaurs have horns
