  I thought they were called like this because of their love of bicycles.

    Jaws was never their scene.

  Nah, you’re thinking of the much more dangerous “acceleraptors”. Velociraptors were very different from how they are commonly portrayed.

    So then distanceraptors are yet to be discoverd?

      No, much like how brontosaurus was later discovered to be a mix of bones from various individuals, “Distanceraptor” is actually a conflation of multiple Displacemosaurids.

        Sorry to break these news to you but in 2015 they discovered that Brontosaurus actually existed, so the “it was a mix of other species bones” is wrong, as much as a fun fact it was 😟
