In fact, the way scientists visualize velociraptors has changed significantly since they made their big screen debut in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. Apparently, however, the Toronto Raptors NBA team hasn't gotten the memo. Their mascot is the same old raptor it's always been. Twitter user Hannah Moss did them a favor and updated the logo to reflect the most up-to-date scientific findings!


Twitter loved the more-accurate paleoart!

The challenge has been issued, NBA! Give the fans what they want: accurate dinosaurs.
