Beyond the game

The real Buitreraptor

It was about the size of a rooster. Its very elongated head with many small teeth distinguished it from other paravians.

Its snout was exceptionally long and slender, and its teeth lacked the serrated edges found in other carnivorous dinosaurs. This helps researchers compare their mouths without revealing every food the animal ate.

This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
