In the description it describes them as being avian, but more like dinosaurs than modern birds, but then it says they're like feathered pterodactyls. It might sound nitpicky but pterodactyls are not dinosaurs, and are only vaguely related to bird, they are a flying reptiles descended from Archosaurs, from which dinosaurs (and their descendants birds) come from, but so are crocodilians, and birds are about as, if not more closely related to crocodilians than they are pterodactyls. It might just be the way it's phrased or I might be being overly nitpicky, but it does say they come from 'Avian DNA' and pterodactyls are not at all avian except for the fact that they fly.

you need to joing the 'damn realists' group :P

We always welcome new members. :P

It's not all the aliens and spacetravel that bothers me, it's the sloppy science!
