Was the pterodactyl actually a dinosaur?
Strictly speaking, pterodactyls were flying reptiles that lived alongside dinosaurs rather than being true dinosaurs. They're a beloved part of the prehistoric world, though, so PTERODACTYL made the cut here.

FAQ
Common questions
These names are long, so is the puzzle too hard for kids?
The lengthy names like ANKYLOSAURUS and VELOCIRAPTOR are actually easier to spot because they cover so many squares. Younger solvers can match the unusual starting letters even before they can pronounce the full word.
How are raptor and velociraptor different on this list?
Raptor is a short nickname for that family of swift, sharp-clawed hunters, while Velociraptor was one specific small species. Both appear as separate answers, so you'll hunt for RAPTOR and VELOCIRAPTOR in different spots.
