Re: Most popular/common dinosaur misconceptions

1. Considering pterosaurs to be dinosaurs
2. Referring to Apatosaurus as "Brontosaurus"
3. Velociraptor was as tall as an adult human, hunted in packs, and was as
intelligent as modern primates.
4. Dilophosaurus was venomous and could spit poison.
5. Tyrannosaurus rex was an obligate scavenger.

6. Dinosaurs and cavemen lived at the same time. 7. Sauropods spent most of time in water. 8. All dinosaurs were giant creatures. 9. Sauropods had a smooth skin (something like human skin).

10. Spinosaurus is not obviously the longest fairly complete named theropod. 11. Megaraptor is a dromaeosaurid. 12. Morrison allosaurids came in two morphs- long- and short-snouted. 13. Deltadromeus is closely related to Dryptosaurus. 14. Enigmosauria isn't a valid taxon.

Haha.  Guess I have a different perspective on this topic. ;)
