Plus they were much smaller than depicted in movies. They are estimated to have weighed about 15 kg and were about 2m long, but over half of that was tail. A Border Collie has about the same body length and a much thicker build.

They were long, skinny murder turkeys.

How do we know if they’re skinny when we only got bones

  Good question. Slender is a better term. Their skeletal structure is horizontally compact, more so than a Border Collie. Scientists can estimate musculature based on the size and shape of attachment points, but it’s all speculative.

  The bones we got were out back a prehistoric BBQ hut with a picture menu for dinos who couldn’t read
