Hmm... A clarification is needed post hast.

A). Tracy Ford, ie She, is a HE. The name trows people off.

B). I didn't say I saw a restoration of Mononykus without a tail, I 
said (I think) that I Did a restoration of Mononykus showing a skeleton 
with what is known darkened in, and there is nearly no tail at all. And 
I don't understand why the tail is drawn as it is. It could be longer 
or short, thicker or thinner. Long and thin like Alverzosaurus?
