Looking like somthing =/= being something

Just because it looks a bit like a Gorgonopsid from Primeval or Walking with Monsters doesn't mean it is one. Also so far it doesn't demonstrate any mammal-like features so it isn't even given that it is a Fanged Wyvern (although that doesn't have to be important, given how Great Jagras is one, despite being just a lizard with a mane). It has no hair or the look of a typical mammal, aside from the face that maybe looks a bit like a Gorgonopsid.

If we did shit like that with other monsters, we might as well call Deviljho, Barroth and Glavenus just dinosaurs, given how much they look like one.
