You don't have to outrun the Orkoraptor, you just have to outrun a slower dinosaur.
PaleoCollector
Wise words.
Akistos
wait, orkoraptor? THERE IS A NEW RAPTOR? The last raptor I learned about was utahraptor, and NOW THERE ARE MORE?
................THAT'S AWESOME! THANK YOU!
Akistos
ok so i just wiki'd the critter- it shares traits with both raptors *and* compies?!?!?!?
PaleoCollector
Lots more, actually. But Orko isn’t related to those raptors. It’s a type of Megaraptor. They were named “raptors” because they thought the claws were the killing claws of a giant “raptor”, but it turned out to be a hand claw of a new type of dinosaur instead.

*barely contained squeeing as she sees the possibility of learning about new dinosaurs*
MORE RAPTORS IS AWESOME.
Please continue. I am unironically and seriously eager to learn.

Well, there’s Austroraptor. Imagine a velociraptor that’s actually as big as the movie raptors, but with really long jaws, and cone shaped teeth for eating fish.
Then there’s Achillobator, which is another very large raptor from Mongolia that mostly lived before velociraptor, but may have lived alongside it briefly.

*quietly imagines different raptor species giving knucklebumps as they pass each other in the plains*

There are so many! Like Buitreraptor, which was a very small raptor with a very long, skinny snout.
Graciliraptor, another very small raptor with long, skinny legs.
Tsaagan, which is a medium sized raptor very reminiscent of Velociraptor.
