Great moments in pedantry Raptor vs. raptor

Events like this make an excellent case study for palaeozoologist Darren Naish's argument that we need to find a new nickname for dromaeosaurids—one that is not already being used by a significantly less terrifying class of animals. "Hey everybody, let's go to the Spring Raptor Release coach outlet!" is kind of the "Let's eat, Grandma coach outlet!" of species classification.
