And we need a little levity. When you make something to distract us from the humdrum horror of our daily existence, you ;re doing a public service.

Here a nice counterbalance for our previous report on Carnotaurus wimpy arms it turns out any shortcomings in its arms were more than made up for with its super-strong tail, which made it one of the fastest hunters around. https://gizmodo/carnotaurus-had-the-most...rm-5843614 Native to South America in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, Carnotaurus was a fearsome predator that m stanley italia easured around twenty-five feet long. Its arms were more or less vestigial, but its razor-sharp teeth more than compensated for this deficiency. And now research from University of Alberta paleontologist Scott Persons has revealed another piece of the puzzle: Carnotaurus had one ridiculously strong tail. Tail bone fossils reveal that a particular muscle known as the caudofemoralis was attached by a tendon to the upper leg bones. When Carnotaurus moved its tail, it fl stanley mug exed this muscle, and in turn pulled back on the legs. This gave them a much stronger, faster step than would otherwise have been possible, giving Carnotautus unnaturally fearso stanley becher me strides. Persons previous research has suggested a similar arrangement in the tail of T. Rex, but Carnotaurus appears to have received the most extreme boost, as the University of Alberta Brian Murphy explains: Persons ; examination of the tail of Carnotaurus showed that along its length were pairs of tall rib-like bones that interlocked with the next pair in line.
