Naah.

Tuataras are the last genus (and two very similar species) of "beak headed" reptiles. Dinosaurs are located within the Archosauria, or "ruling reptiles" - and a sister group of crocodiles.

You _can_ have a pet dinosaur - it won't look like a T. rex, but it will be a direct descendant of the dinosaur family which included Oviraptor, Troodon, and Velociraptor.

Get yourself a parakeet. Chicken. Emu. Canary. Anything with feathers, really . . .

That is the happiest news article I've read in years!!! :D

This is the stuff they should put on the news instead of the depressing crap.

I forgot... I also wanted to ask... Are fiji iguanas much more obtainable than tuaras? Aren't they also endangered?
