Prehistoria - The Prehistoric Animal Fan Club

[Saiun]

I'm personally a fan of prehistoric big cats (and other extinct mammals). I have a book on them called The Big Cats and Their Fossil Relatives. It has awesome artwork by Mauricio Antón. Here is his Wordpress. Just wanted to share.

Daily Prehistoric Creature Fact #19: Original classification of Theropod dinosaurs was based off size alone. Large Theropods were classed as Carnosaurs, while small Theropods were classed as Coelurosaurs. It is now known that Carnosaurs are only one group of large Theropods and are also known as the Allosaurs. Coelurosaurs also contain large Theropods, such as Therizinosaurs and Tyrannosaurs. Other large Theropods are classed as Spinosaurs, Abelisaurs, or Megaraptorans.
