Hence why I chose this picture for the episode image, because it’s funny seeing the tables turned. Mwuahahaha. From the Early Cretaceous, this 20-foot basal ornithopod was also notable in having a really long tail, which really would have been useful in fighting off those <em>Deinonychus </em>I reckon. But hey, who am I to judge? It seemed to work out for them. Oh wait, they’re extinct, so I guess not. </p><p><br></p><p>Want to further support the show?
