Orkoraptor, the Toothed River Thief

(image source: https://images.dinosaurpictures.org/Orkoraptor_a0ab.jpg) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lexi Ryan discuss Orkoraptor, a dinosaur that has a fantasy race in its genus name and so Matthew managed to get a fantasy nerd to talk about it with him. From the Late Cretaceous, this 24-foot megaraptoran theropod has a confusing taxonomical mess of a history, having been classified before as a dromaeosaur, a tyrannosaur, and even a large compsognathid. Sheesh, scientists, form a conclusion already! Then again, I guess that's what science is. Want to further support the show?
