I pick "Dinosaur" because he is one.

The question isn't even correct. Does this bloke speak English at all?

He lives in Dinosaur Land. Take a wild guess.
I believe he has said that he is learning English.President Iwata said:

Excuse the off-topic post, but what's his first language then?

But seriously, I think that whether Yoshi is a dinosaur, dragon, lizard, frog, or whatever is up to fan speculation (i.e. you decide what he is).

He's stated as a dinosaur, but I believe he was also incorporated with lizard like abilities (eg. his long tongue refers to a chameleon I believe).
Paper Mario the First
He is the one and only....

Hope you don't mind me asking, but why do you hate Yoshi?
I bet it's his voice. That would be the only reason for me to hate Yoshi, if I hated him.Nightwatcher said:
Since Yoshi and his species was introduced as part of Dinosaur Land, he looks like a very friendly T-rex, and I'm pretty sure the instruction booklet of Super Mario World explicitly said what he was, I'm going with dinosaur.

He's a dinosaur. Please name me one lizard that is that size and walks upright all of the time.

Little is known about the gender-differences of Yoshi. The Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Melee states in Yoshi's trophy that Yoshi reproduce asexually, meaning that they reproduce without a mate, and are neither male nor female.
All Yoshi are shown to lay eggs, though not all are used for reproduction. Most are actually used as weapons, as first shown in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. However Game & Watch Gallery 2 and Game and Watch Gallery 4 feature the Chef minigame, in which the main Yoshi is actually seen laying eggs that do hatch.
At least one of the Yoshi in Paper Mario refers to his "son," and in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Yoshi who sometimes appears on-board the Excess Express expresses his hatred of business trips due to them keeping him away from his "lovely wife." Additionally, in the original Mario Party, two Yoshi, one specifically male and the other specifically female, hoped to be reunited, and eventually were, though the two did not appear to have a romantic relationship.
Finally, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Otacon states that Yoshi is a male, contrary to Solid Snake's belief. Male pronouns are often applied to Yoshi in his other appearances, though male pronouns can sometimes be given to someone of unknown sex. It should also be noted that the Japanese rarely use gender-specific pronouns at all.
