etymology edit

What is the origin of this word? Presumably draco is from dragon. What of hors? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:4900:A2BB:9478:E977:C590:ED46 (talk) 23:59, 18 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Its name is formed by haplology from Latin draco (dragon, [large] snake) and cohors (cohort (military unit)). Its Latin genitive is dracohortis. Most names of animal clades are plurals (e.g. Saurischia = "those with hips like those of lizards"), but Dracohors (meaning "the dragon cohort") is the singular of a collective noun.

Controversial cladogram? edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The cladogram give here contradicts the ones (or examples like cladograms) in other articles here, such as Dinosaur, Evolution of dinosaurs, Dinosaur classification and Theropoda. I'm in no way knowledgeable to change it, but does it need to me mentioned the cladogram given is controversial and/or not agreed by all palaeontologists, and the debate is ongoing? 194.28.127.52 (talk) 22:34, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

I believe the statement "but the interrelationships within Dinosauria have been debated" and the followup discussion clarifies the uncertain nature of the results sufficiently. IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 00:03, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
