paleonet Tyrannosaur front legs

[James Davison <jamesdavison@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To all,

I keep hearing that the front legs of a Tyrannosaur were too short to 
reach the mouth, but I am not sure of this.  It seems to me that if the 
animal bent it's head far enough downward, the front legs would be handy 
in removing bits of meat from the teeth, and the two front claws could 
serve as toothpicks.  For an animal like T-Rex keeping the teeth clear 
and functional would be a top priority that would contribute greatly to 
survival.  -- JD
