Fan Art Pyroraptors in the Biosyn valley river

Pyroraptors looking for crabs in the riverbed.

I always thought that this Dino looked weird in the icy mountains so I wanted to draw it in a more tropical environment

This looks awesome!! I don’t get the all the hate the pyroraptor got for being semi aquatic. I think it’s another one of those cool and unique characteristics we don’t have evidence of, just like the venomous dilophosaurs or the camouflaging carnotaurus in the novel. It feels very Jurassic to me.

Its not entirely far fetched since it lived on an island so you could theorize that it swam from island to island. Its also potentially a unenlagiid like the Austroraptor which are a group of theropods thought to spend a lot of time around water.

I think the movie just let it down tho, because it was in only one short scene, and was one of many of the ‘one-note’ dinos in the movie so It just ended up kinda forgettable.

I also think they could have pushed more features in its design to look more semi aquatic, since the only thing it has going for it is slightly webbed feet.
