Woolungasaurus is an underwater dinosaur.
Quetzalcoatlus is a flying dinosaur.
Deinosuchus is a prehistoric reptile from the time of the dinosaurs which crocodiles have evolved from.
Mosasaurus are also underwater dinosaurs.
Postosuchus is a ground dinosaur of the mesozoic era.

the 2 that are not are:
Smilodon and Gallus gallus
the Smilodon lived in the same period as dinosaurs but is not considered one.
Gallus Gallus is a species of chicken but probably has evolved after millions of years from the dinosaurs.

best answer of course!

None of them are dinosaurs. Woolungasaurus and Mosasaurus were marine reptiles. Smilodon was a sabre-toothed cat. Quetzalcoatlus was a pterosaur. Deinosuchus was a giant crocodile. Postosuchus was a primitive type of crocodilian. Gallus gallus is the chicken.

You could consider Gallus gallus a dinosaur, as it is a bird and birds are likely descendents of dinosaurs. The rest are not.

Quetzalcoatlus is a pterosaur...not a dinosaur but a member of the flying reptiles. I think Deinosuchus is a dinosaur, but you should check that one. I think everybody covered that rest.

None of these species are dinosaurs.

You have plesiosaurs, mammalian kitties, pterosaurs, crocodiles, giant aquatic lizards and chickens, but no dinosaurs.
