The dinosaurs that were called velociraptors in Jurassic Park weren’t entirely made up, it’s just that neither Michael Chrichton nor Steven Speilberg knew the difference between a velociraptor and a deinonychus.
@Jeremy – I thought it was that Crichton just didn’t like the name “Deinonychus” and wanted it to be a raptor? Utahraptor was discovered shortly afterwards and he said he would’ve used that if it had been known about at the time. That’s what I heard anyway :3
I’d be a Pyroraptor, ’cause… ’cause I already am one! ^_^
And Pterodactyls aren’t dinosaurs. My opinion of Jordan has gone down.
Actually, they picked the name velociraptor because it sounded cooler than deinonychus. But technically, the anatomy of the predators in the movie matches that of the deinonychus. Velociraptors are smaller.
Hmmm more specifically part cat part T-rex. It’s a winning combination.
Pteradactyls are not dinosaurs, they are pterosaurs. Fun fact! :D
I would be a Veloci-Raptor…not the scientifical kind that are all bird like, but the ones from Jurrasic Park that are awesomefull.
My cats name is Tyrannosaurus Rex. I’m convinced he is a dinosaur trapped in a kitties body.
I’m tig, I’m 29…
Oh wait, that was the previous comic. >_>
My boyfriend and I had this conversation the other day.
o: *Gasp* Jordan’s shirt collar disappeared magically!
OMG I SAID I WAS A CAT DINOSAUR YESTERDAY UR MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the third panel, i thought that the pancake was a design on Jordan’s shirt XD
So a…Catasaur?

I probably should have finished reading the previous two comments before starting my spiel… lol.
