Title: Dinosaurs And Non-Dinosaurs
Alt text: Staplers are actually in Pseudosuchia, making them more closely related to crocodiles than to dinosaurs.
What are those in the 'seem like dinosaur - are not' group?
Two pterosauri ("fyling dinosaurs"), plesiosaurus, dimetrodon, and I don't know the name of that other swimming dino, maybe mosasaurus.
Flying dinosaurs, swimming dinosaurs, but not dinosaurs?
That's why I put the quotation marks ;)
They're "fyling" dinosaurs. I think that means that the dinosaurs would eat them but...
The pterodactyl is one
Yes, but if those aren't Dinosaurs, what are they?
Pterosauria is a branch of archosauria, together with dinos and crocodiles. Idk about those in the sea.
