 ===Origin===
-Venusaur is probably based on a {{wp|toad}}, given that its unevolved forms resemble {{wp|frogs}}, but Venusaur displays warts instead of a smooth skin. The plant on its back vaguely resembles the giant flower ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}''. It also resembles the mammal-like reptile from the Triassic Period, ''{{wp|Kannemeyeria}}'' in shape and size.
+Venusaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically the {{wp|tuatara}} or any of the mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period or the {{wp|Kannemeyeria}}'' from the {{wp|Triassic}} period.
+Other than a lack of a tail, and with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage(evolution aside), Venusaur does not have much in common with {{wp|amphibians}} like {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}}(which metamorph from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Venusaur does); instead, it more closely resembles reptiles like lizards and tuataras.
