"They estimate that meat-munching "Wall Raptor" was young when it died, but the well-preserved remains of the dinosaur indicate that it still grew to at least 21 feet." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc14 Posted August 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I didn't know that dinosaurs could have hollow bones like a flying reptile. Wouldn't this mean they are more pterosaur than dinosaur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pterasaurs are more like flying reptiles while dinosaurs (therepod-classes) are more like flightless birds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbloodmoon Posted August 7, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I admit that I am a late comer to liking the raptors due to the overhype of the Jurassic park movies but they have grown on me over the years. I think it's quite cool they have found another mega raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
