A meme I made.
- Thread starter Tyrannoraptor75
- Start date
So are they 100% definitely Atrociraptor now?
That's what everyone refers to them as. I can't find a source though.
Last I heard, Colin Trevarow still insists they're Deinonychus, so who knows...
I do hope so.
Where did you get that from? I haven't found anything regarding that yet. Paleontologist Steve Brusatte, the new major paleo-consultant for Dominion, said on his Twitter account Trevorrow may have not reveled their official name yet. The person who "found" this image of them with the information they shared currently now has their account suspended since god-knows when.

With stuff like this, no matter how much media virality it gets, or no matter the origin (even if its from an unofficial source that gets things accurate time and time again like a certain Twitter user I know), can't really be trusted because they don't contain a full context with all the know "allowed-to-be-shared facts."
So far, I can't find any official confirmation on what these new raptors are, so their identity (Deinonychus or Atrociraptor or whatever else) remains ambiguous until then.
All we have about them, as far as I'm aware of, are both "leaks" and bogus claims that gain uncontrolled virality, and that in and of itself can be a trap. Because if they are leaked pieces of information, they can be changed, or already be totally different from the beginning (be it a mistake either way, or a deliberate trick to toy with people), before any official announcement or reveal, as many others I've seen before.

I notice that Pyroraptor isn't on that list either. Here's hoping that's the one that got replaced.The Jurassic Park wiki cites this article from a month ago.

Also, there are reconstructions of the head of Atrociraptor that look similar profile wise to the dominion raptor squad (very squared), I'd find it unusual if Deinonychus was the intended designation, granted accurate depictions is rarely the intention.
End of the day, they do what they do, and we are powerless observers.
I don't know. I guess I'd just be very disappointed to see them go out of their way to homage the original trilogy Velociraptors, just to call them something other than Deinonychus (which is what the original trilogy raptors were based on). It'd would be a tragic missed opportunity.

Articles like these I’m not really sure of because of their wording. This “journalist” has the wording in that article of an average armchair fan who wants to know more like anyone else, finding anything they could find on the internet to share, even if it’s not true, and not from someone who has gotten information directly from the people involved with the film. The rumored “Atrociraptor” was known before that article’s publication, and although JPtoys says there’s “Atrociraptor” toys coming, there are no images to provide visual proof. Everything else the article states contains information that I’ve know already that is already said elsewhere.
As a result, I cannot trust this artcle the JP wiki found. The wiki itself isn’t very well moderated either, that’s why I don’t like relying on it.
