Why is terrible lizard not the appropriate name for a dinosaur?
Members of the Class Dinosauria are not, in fact, lizards, nor really reptiles at all. Dinosaurs were warmblooded and walked with their legs directly below their body, whereas reptiles are defined as cold-blooded animals with sprawled or semi-sprawled legs. Furthermore, all lizards have a parietal eye on the top of their heads, and no dinosaur skulls show the necessary markings to have such an eye. For these reasons the literal translation of the title Dinosaur is a misnomer.
