My two cents- I think if documentaries like Prehistoric Planet continued to include dinosaurs from outside the west or at least the mainstream favourite locations like North America, South America, Africa and Mongolia, we’d see a lot more diversity in dinosaurs in the public eye. It would be nice maybe to see a documentary that didn’t always compare a new dino predator to T-Rex all the time. And Alpkarakush is a very decidedly ominous name for a theropod dinosaur.

[@OlegMilitaryHistory]

This is definitely the weirdest pronunciation for Kyrgyzstan I've ever heard (I was born there) - the proper pronunciation should be "Keer-geez-stan" - with the "ee"s pronounced as in "beer" - and with the "z" and "s" both pronounced distinctly

Sine Raptor is what you're saying, but it is def spelled sin, like the original sin. Sin Raptor is pretty f'n metal 🤘 Almost as good as Hypnovenator, The Sleep Hunter. Stick with sin. Pronunciation isn't actually all that important in dead languages, despite the elbow. Another reason to stick with traditional Linnaean binomial nomenclature.

You're right in it not mattering (I deliberately switch between possible ways to pronounce things when applicable to push this idea) HOWEVER, Sinraptor is named after the greek/Latin name for China, Sino. That IS pronounced "Sign-Oh". ☝️🤓

I don't understand how it can be determined that a lot of these dinosaurs are all thought to have :tiny" relatively " upper limbs when a lot of them have no upper limbs found. .Maybe they did get larger upper limbs?

[@EDGEscience]

Because their relatives all had small arms. On top of that, big arms is relatively rare among all theropod dinosaurs. You'd need proof of big arms to speculate their presence because the default is smaller arms. On top of that, you can tell how big the arms are if you have chest and shoulder bones.
