Recently, it has come to my attention that some of the animals in Walking With... have recently been renamed or reclassified. Examples include Ornithocheirus (now Tropeognathus) and Tapejara (now Tupandactylus). What should we used, the newer, more scientificly correct names or the old ones?

I suggest newer ones, because the guide to prehistoric life calls the Gorgonsid as Gorgonops.
