During the time Crighton wrote Jurassic Park, some suggested naming d. antirhopus new, as velociraptor antirhopus. This was directly after the redesign of d. antirhopus' skull, deviating from Ostroms original design to the very infamous elongated snout (more closely related to v. mongoliensis) which can be seen in jurassic park. The "velociraptor antirhopus" from Crighton is 100% deinonychus antirhopus, as during the time of the redesign of its skull, it was considered to be more related to v. mongoliensis than dromaeosaurus.. Spielbergs Raptors maybe influenced by the discovery of the Utahraptor during the nineties.
Love this video, I love small theropods and especially ceolorosaurs as a whole so this was really cool. Keep up this awesome work.
Thanks, glad you’re enjoying the channel!

Thanks for the insights into the original Jurassic Park. Unfortunately, these original “mistakes” linger to this day 🤣
@@ExamineEarth yes everyone knows the term velociraptor, it seems deinonychus' fame got stolen.
