#xkcd No. 3204 Date: 2026-2-6 Title: Dinosaurs And Non-Dinosaurs Alt text: Staplers are actually in Pseudosuchia, making them more closely related to crocodiles than to dinosaurs. xkcd.com/3204/
What are those in the ‘seem like dinosaur - are not’ group?
Two pterosauri (“fyling dinosaurs”), plesiosuarus, dimetrodon, and I don’t know the name of that other swimming dino, maybe mosasaurus.
Flying dinosaurs, swimming dinosaurs, but not dinosaurs?
The pterodactyl is one
Yes, but if those aren’t Dinosaurs, what are they?
