@john I have always love this pic of yours. Shows their weird proportions so well.

@john Yes and no. I think it was out there a lot and so we will turn some up sooner rather than later, but it's also not *that* common and given how many dinosaurs are known from a couple of specimens, I can easily buy that we've not found them, or the dimoprhism was primarily size and colour and so very hard to iD.

@john true-ish. I mean we don't have dozens of good skulls of most apart from the ceratopsians but then there are loads of bovids where both sexes have horns so that might track. And the long growth of dinosaurs cf mammals and birds would likely make it cryptic to us but clear in living animals.

@john Again, sort of. I really don't think we actually have that many good skulls (like a dozen plus) of adults at one time and place for any taxon.

So finally 'Dinosaur with @stephenfry' is coming to your screens (if you're in the UK). It starts on Feb 12th but you'll have to wait a whole 2 more weeks till the 26th to see me talking (at some length, whether you want me to or not) about T. rex.

@john but John, surely they launched bipedally just using their legs?

@john I can point to a recent paper that says it fairly explicitly.
