Because AFAIK beakguanas have more potential to be related to tuataras, while treeguanas could be relic Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:25:38 GMT johannes.hilmes http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DinosaurMailingList-KilledThreads/message/21711 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DinosaurMailingList-KilledThreads/message/21711 ...

The latter would probably work better as arboreal beakuanas or treeguanas. Treeguanas would be better in some ways, because they've never been Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:15:25 GMT ghandhimahamata http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DinosaurMailingList-KilledThreads/message/21709 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DinosaurMailingList-KilledThreads/message/21709 ... Oh my [insert deity name here], thats briliant! We could also solve the dendrosaur problem by stating they're Shuvosaurus like crocodilians!
