This was put up last moth but better late then never...

Personally its awesome to find Deinoychus sized raptors were still present in North America compared to the various smaller species.

Awesome! Any new Canadian dinosaur is awesome by me. Although I think its time Alberta stopped getting all the glory. Let's find some dinosaur fossils in British Columbia for once!

The fact that the source of that pictures comes from an University is a bit concerning considering how inacurate the animals are...

Yeah I noticed in the picture that they were eating a Triceratops.

They were from the Wapiti Formation so Pachyrhinosaurus would be more accurate

That 'Trike' is definitely a Pachyrhinosaurus, the horn isn't coming from above the eye but halfway up the frill, and there's definitely its characteristic boss there. Regardless, doesn't help the accuracy of the dromaeosaurids xD

Oh yeah true, feathers are good but the scaly heads and JP hand pose ruin it

And the pronated hands. Plus no wings (well barely). We know that even large dromeosaurs had full featheared wings. Also i'm not 100% sure, but i think the feathers on the body should be avian looking not just filaments.
