Please do not listen to this Podcast!!! You will loose all your friends and family by dumping a metric fuckton of completely out-of-context dino-facts all over your social life.
Trust me, its not gonna be pretty. I listened to a few episodes and little plastic dinosaurs started appearing in our living room. Also my three-year-old started speaking in tongues (says my granny because apparently she doesn’t now what a Micropachycephalosaurus is)
BE CAREFUL!

They are basically the sistergroup. When the term dinosaur was coined, the most distantly related dinosaurs were taken as reference and everything and everything “between” them was defined as a dinosaur. Pterodactyls weren’t known back than, that’s basically the reason they are excluded
