>>59053523As someone has stated, in asian countries dinosaurs are just referred to as dragons.
Chinese names of dinosaurs all translate to shit like "Violence Dragon" and "Triangle Dragon" and what not, in media like One Piece all the devil fruits that turn you into Dinosaurs are "Ryu Ryu no mi" with Ryu meaning Dragon. The japanese word for Dinosaur is basically Fear Dragon, etc. etc.
If anything its moreso restraint on their part that they didnt make every other dinosaur fossil part dragon as well.
