It can be agreed that Dinosaurs are indeed awesome. So in this thread, we talk about dinosaurs.
Me, I've recently been disappointed to learn that pteradactyls and the like are not dinosaurs at all. Now I am trying to figure out what my favorite dinosaur is without them.

They... aren't? Who's responsible for spreading this slander?

Who here knows the difference between a dinosaur and Dinosaur?

Yes! And I believe it would be Paleobiologists, Varion. It's been found that they are more closely related to another...phylum, I think? Doubt it's class. Also, I shall take a stab at Deuce's challenge! Pterodactyl is a specific creature, and Pteranodon is a more general class? Watch me be totally wrong, as my knowledges are very rusty! I think this may become my new favorite.  |

A pteranodon had an actual beak, lacking any kind of teeth- whereas the pterodactyl had the teeth/teeth like ridges to allow for ripping and tearing once the maw was closed as opposed to just snapping.

Curse you, Cyhirae! Also, I may have a proper new favorite, the Microraptor Or as I prefer to call it, the Doublehawk. Sadly don't know if that's how it actually moved. Some theorized it was more akin to a flying squirrel. |
