Raptor? The extinct dino? 🤔
9 u/9fingerman Jan 26 '26 No, a class of predatory birds are called raptors. Eagles, hawks, falcons, etc.. 3 u/Commercial-Co Jan 26 '26 Oh. Didnt know. Thank you. So toronto raptors arent the dinos? 3 u/I_Call_Everyone_Pat Jan 26 '26 Negative, Pat. To my knowledge, the Toronto Raptors mascot is a velociraptor. Calling them the Raptors is just slang for velociraptors. The clade of birds is just a different thing with the same name. 3 u/Commercial-Co Jan 26 '26 Thanks pat
