Oklahoma’s Favorite Dinosaur Is the Titanosaurus
It's no secret that Oklahoma has an extensive dinosaur history. In fact, studies have found that the land now making up Oklahoma was once roamed by some of the biggest dinosaurs. So it makes sense that Oklahoma's favorite dinosaur is one of the larger ones.
According to a recent study from employers.io, Oklahoma's favorite dinosaur is the titanosaurus. Other states that favor this dinosaur are Indiana and West Virginia. The titanosaurus is one of the largest dinosaurs to ever be discovered. Although the titanosaurus is linked to South America, it doesn't stop these states from having an appreciation for the large creature.
And for those who are planning on seeing "Jurassic World: Rebirth" when it opens on July 2, they will be happy to know that a titanosaurus will actually appear in the film. In the trailer, you can see Scarlett Johansson's character running through a tall, grassy field with two giant dinosaurs whipping their tails. These two massive creatures are titanosauruses.

'Jurassic World: Rebirth' to feature large and small dinosaurs.
In "Jurassic World: Rebirth," the characters are sent on a mission to the island that housed Jurassic Park, which is now overrun by several species of dinosaurs. They're job is to extract DNA from these dinosaurs that will prove to be a medical miracle for humans. Of course, this DNA can only be found in some of the largest dinosaurs.
But "Jurassic World: Rebirth" will not only focus on the large dinosaurs, but also the smaller ones, including Delores, who is an Aquilops. And Oklahoma residents can see the only known fossilized skull of an Aquilops at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman, Oklahoma.
