In either case, I wonder how the dino ties the knot?
And clearly, the answer is two.

Doodled this on paper during DnD a looooong time ago and wanted to color it.

Open access article, and the "non-technical summary" section near the beginning gives an overview everyone can understand. 🧪🦖
Very short version: #Troodon was considered a valid #genus for well over a century, until it was merged with #Stenonychosaurus about a decade ago, and due to specimen quality Stenonychosaurus took priority. Now careful examination indicates Troodon is a valid genus again.
This process is familiar from other famous #dinosaur genera, most notably #Brontosaurus and #Apatosaurus. Even *living* animals are hard to classify a lot of the time; nothing between #kingdom and #species is really set in stone. The tension between "#lumpers" and "#splitters" never ends.
Troodon is special. Maybe it was intelligent, in a way we'd recognize as such, and maybe it wasn't. But it was almost surely *smart*, and quite possibly social, and likely an omnivore. Does that remind you of anyone?
Maybe I'm fooling myself, when I feel a kinship across deep time. And maybe I'm not.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Here's the diplodocid sauropod growth rate mural art I created for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, in 2021.

I can't NOT post this to sauropds.win: New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: BRONTOSMASH! II: the BRONTOSMASHENING. High-resolution version just posted to #patreon along with lots of discussion about the apatosaur neck combat hypothesis: https://www.patreon.com/posts/120678428
HT to @mike, because I believe he likes this sort of thing.

#Troodon may once again be a valid #genus. Or, uh, so I’ve heard.
#Brontosaurus is smiling, and #Diatryma is waiting patiently.
