		<description>Awesome list! Probably better to make sure the chickenosaurus stays chicken-sized if Horner succeeds!

Agree with you, Dan, about occasional omnivory among herbivores. When I found out about hippos occasionally eating people, that convinced me - yep, animals will eat what&#039;s in front of them and a herbivore&#039;s advanced digestion can handle meat easier than the other way around, a carnivore surviving on grass.

If only scavenging, it makes sense herbivores can supplement their protein this way. And when it&#039;s that big an animal, yep, we&#039;re that insignificant!</description>

		<description>Not sure why anyone with a scientific background would scoff at the idea of a large lauropod taking occasional animal prey.  What other archosaurs known to man (other than a few seed eating birds) are completely herbivorous?  Ducks are largely herbivorous, but wont hesitate in gobblying up any small animal that crosses their patch.

It is probably a mistake to stereotype some dinosaurs as strict vegetarians whon no other living archosaurs are, save for a few seed eating birds.  Even mostly herbivourous mammals like cows, Hippos, and in one case a woman-eating captive elephant are documented.  I have little doubt sauropods , like ostriches, ate any small animal they could catch along with their veggies.  In this one respect at least, 1933 King Kong was probably more realistic than Jurassic Park, when the Brachiosaurs didn&#039;t eat the kids.</description>

		<description>I still can&#039;t understand why the hell the three Vastatosaurus tried and tried to catch the small blondie, where they had an interesting piece of meat in Kong... a not-very-coordinate attack of the Vastatosaurs would have been impossible to stop for the giant ape! and we all would be happier... obviously, the movie should have been called differently....</description>
