How is the Para an air dino??

Superslacker you always get right to the essential point and that is very good.

Helps keep Prof Onestone on his toes.

Trying to use real-world logic to model or predict anything in the TV world is, as you correctly point out, futile. I mean they have ponies popping out of dino eggs.

The funny thing is, I too have tried to figure out how the PARA got to be an AIR dino.

It's blue? It blows air through its crest when it trumpets? Or - the biome idea came later that the common dino idea, so they had to pick one of the 4 commons and arbitrarily make it the air.

However, there is one thing they do fairly well. When TV artists create a new dino, they begin with the best reconstructions available - the same pictures you and I can see on Wikipedia when we google dino. So many of the key featues of a new dino do appear in the graphic. We do see hands on the wings, so like the ingridia, this new yellow dino is definitely one of the pterodactyls - which just means wings with fingers. Unfortunately for us, there are hundreds of pteros this could be - but it is not one of the large fish-eating ones. The anatomy is all wrong! Many pteros lived by scampering along tree branches and eating small bugs instead. The hands helped them scamper and were often closer to the body like this to reasily grasp branches. The position of the hands on the wings might be a clue. Not a fish-eater me thinks.Tree scamperer, with hands close to body, instead.
