Stenonychosaurus/Latenivenatrix | The True Troodon | Dino Basics

The Troodon is possibly one of the most famous dinosaurs in pop culture today, but recent development in paleontology (relative to the field as a whole, it's still like 10 year old news) have shaken our understanding of this dinosaur. Maybe, it doesn't even exist! So what are all these fossils really? Enter, the Stenonychosaurus and Latenivenatrix. While these are both new names (well, one is, we'll talk about it), they still maintain the identity of the former, being agile hunters with big eyes and an even bigger brain. But how did these names come about? And why would I possibly combine these two dinosaurs into one video? Let's find out!
