Going vegan

Scientists have discovered a massive cache of dinosaur fossils in Utah that seem to be evolving into herbivores from the line of carnivores that includes Velociraptors.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usOver millions of years these beasts went from long-legged, hook-toed Jeff Goldblum harrassers to squat, long-necked grass-gnawers with smaller claws and bigger hips [to accommodate the larger bowel systems needed by herbivores].

Discoveries of such an evolutionary path are fairly rare and are awesome.

Here's a picture of the little dickins. What remains unclear, though, is why every artists rendition of a dinosaur depicts the animal freaking the hell out, tail lashing, screeching, choking on it's own tongue. Falcarius utahensis needs to take a chill pill.

And they appear to be part of the bird precurser line.

That's funny about the Freak-Out pose, I was thinking the same thing. My 7-year old boy draws dinosaurs non-stop, and of course he does the same thing.

I guess it's just more fun for the artist to depict a beast at the extremes of its physical and emotional spectrum.

Would you want to invest much effort in drawing a docile falcarius utahensis?

I wouldn't.
