Its what the raptors in Jurassic park were modelled off, they changed it to Velociraptor because it sounded cooler. Hollywood can be pretty stupid sometimes.

Just look at that bad boy ain't it just screaming to be saddled up an ridden into the most epic sunset ever

Actually the raptors in Jurassic Park were modeled after velociraptor (or at least, how they thought velociraptors looked at the time), just extremely scaled up. Utahraptor was discovered after the movie came out, causing everyone to go "Cool! So they existed after all."

That's not true at all.
Utahraptor bones were discovered 18 years before Jurassic Park came out, and more bones were discovered two years before Jurassic Park came out.

Actually, pachycephalosaurus didn't bash heads. Their heads didn't have bone on the outside, turns out they probably had a thin layer of scalp on top that would make smashing skulls together extremely harmful. It's too bad, they were much cooler when they were headbangers.

A shame really. I guess the dino books that I read in my youth are now rather outdated.
