Beyond the game

The real Siamraptor

The remains were found in Thailand and come from more than one individual. They include parts of the skull and other skeletal regions, allowing several features to be compared together.

The discovery extends the known range of this group in Southeast Asia. The dinosaur map is not limited to North America: finds in less well-represented regions can greatly change our picture of where these animals lived.
