Triceratops still collects residuals, Toro Zord pissed

Hmmm... They did say "MAY NOT BE", so I don't think it's already finalized.

I'd blame Decade for this, but we all know it was this guy...

So that means the Zyurangers and the MMPR team only have one dinosaur, lol.

Last time I checked, Brachiosaurus, which is what Titanus/King Brachion is, was a dinosaur. Even without Triceratops they still have two. Also, it's Torosaurus which is now discredited, not Triceratops.

**** Torosaurus. I am placing that in my Discontinuity file.

Whelp, then I guess when can call Zyuranger completely inaccurate then

 

[Forever Knight]

Zyuranger and Abaranger will never be the same again.

So that means the Zyurangers and the MMPR team only have one dinosaur, lol.

Japanese consider Dragons to be dinosaurs aswell, which is what Dragon Caesar is. So two.

Bit of an update:

Update: A tipster with a background in the life sciences tells us that this storyline has been overblown.

“we’ve known for a few weeks that a torocerotops is actually a triceratops
http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/dinosaur/2010/07/22/new-study-says-torosaurustriceratops/
this is just confusion”

Since the triceratops was discovered before the torosaurus — in 1887 versus 1889 — scientific naming conventions would have it that if the two are the same species, ‘triceratops’ would be the correct name, not ‘torosaurus.’ So if anything, the torosaurus may not ‘be a real dinosaur,’ though this probably won’t particularly upset anybody’s childhood.

Also, as you would expect, there are some already on the move with petitions:

Some dinosaur fans, however scientifically inclined, are in denial. Dino Ignacio, for example, has set up “Save the Triceratops” pages on Facebook and BuzzFeed, writing:

Scientists are saying that the Triceratops dinosaur—you know and love, was actually a juvenile form of a Torosaurus, the three horned dinosaur you don’t know and don’t love. Heart this buzz or join our Facebook page to help us tell those pesky scientists that they can take Pluto and the Brontosaurus.. but they can’t take our Triceratops!

Of course, the scientific use of “Brontosaurus” had officially been removed by the early 20th century when paleontologist Elmer Riggs pointed out the Brontosaurus excelsus was of the same genus as Apatosaurus ajax. By then, however, the original name had taken hold in the popular consciousness.

Well, that explains alot then
