"Once he figured out he had a new dinosaur, he realised scientists should be working the site."

That bit confused me...

Dinosaurs have a reputation for being big, scary meat eaters but a vegan dinosaur? Yay!

Oh no, most dinosaurs were, just as today most mammals are, herbivorous. The same "food chains" always seem to apply to every geologic age in which life existed, with the majority of species being plant eaters, and a much smaller number being flesh eaters. In our "meatarded" society its only the big, dangerous hunters that get all the attention. And T. rex didn't arrive on the dinosaur scene until relatively late, anyway.

Some people think that modern birds should be classified as dinosaurs, scince they don't have any other family of animals that they are linked to today. I like that idea!

Speaking ot T-Rex, I remember watching a documentary not too long ago, which claimed that T-Rex was most likely a scavenger, due to the short arms and certain other features. I know it's hardly relevant but I thought I'd mention it anyway, since we're talking about how looks can be deceiving etc.
