PREHISTORIC PLANET

I have not. But when there's no papers out to the public, from what I am seeing, that says 'yes, this is most definitely velociraptor', then nothing is extremely concrete. I never said it was impossible, nor that there is no base to it, merely that, from what information the public does have, it isn't extremely concrete.

But we also do not have papers to say it isn't Velociraptor.

With information like this, it is best to not nitpick it if there isn't a definitive yes or no.

Thus why I am very confused that they chose to call it Velociraptor, when there are papers nor for it nor against it, instead of merely calling it an unnamed relative as they did with other species. I'll give them an ask on Twitter though.

[Leyster]

Also keep in mind that people which worked on the show might have some informations not available to us. It'd not be the first time medias feature something before it's actually published (Gastonia, for example, appeared in Raptor Red three years before the paper decribing it was out).

[Faelrin]

Honestly regardless of what that dromaeosaur may be, I think it was important to combat the dated notion of Velociraptor being the oversized scaly Deinonychus of Jurassic Park, that has been mainstay for the past 30 years, with something much closer to the truth. Calling that particular animal Velociraptor helps reach out to the public because it is already a name many are familiar with. I'd be willing to accept some anachronism (if the remains end up not assigned to Velociraptor) in this case, if it can at least help address that issue and educate people.

That said I would like to see Adasaurus in Season 2. It has relatively decent remains and was around Deinonychus size, and lived in the Nemegt.

[Jorgesaurus]

for the third season they should focus on the Jurassic period

...So I was watching the trailer again and noticed Apple TV's caption of choice on their Facebook & Twitter page posts:

Austroraptors, isisaurs, and pachycephalosaurs, oh my.

It looks like we have two more genera confirmed!

[Eatmycar]

Those Triceratops are BEAUTIFUL! All of this is stunning and I can't wait for PP Season 2 to drop.

I just wish we'd get some figures based off of these...

That would be great. I'd buy most of them.

Any fear I had of S2 just being more of the same is now gone. Loving how diverse this seasons cast seems to be.

[JimoAi]

still waiting for Ankylosaurus but it will likely be in episode 5
