The "Stegosaurus" looks like a hybrid between a Kiwi, a Tortoise and a drunken Longisquama with its feather things turned into plates.

1972, apparently.
That explains it. Most dinosaur books at that time are just ugh.


I don't know why Kung Fu fighting tail dragging scaly theropods where so common back then.

Because dinosaurs back then were mostly based of lizards which usually drag their tail around. Lizards that are capable of moving on two legs also hold their body upright while running bipedally as well.

I know right. I can translate Badze gramirezh but this is beyond translation

Also when people think all dinosaurs did is fight.

Aye chihuahua people. Don't you think we'd find more dinosaur vs dinosaur fossils (Like the famous Velociraptor vs Protoceratops fossil) if they did only fight

Although that explains the posture it doesn't explain why at that time theropods where obsessed with Kung Fu.

It would actually be LESS anachronistic to have the Edaphosaurus be a deer or a horse.

When I was young I thought theropods' eyes were located at the back end of the fenestrae- and presumably that the actual eye locations bore ear holes.
To this day, though, the fenestrae look like eyes to me. :P They draw your attention and just look expressive.

Actually in the movie they are modified komodo dragons made to look like Dinosaurs. (though for some reason they somehow have Pterosaurs in that movie too)
