Re: Pathology?

[Phil Bigelow <bigelowp@juno.com>]

Why don't you tell the story of "Limpy", the gout-footed T. rex?  "Limpy"
ate too much meat and didn't get enough legumes and other complex
carbohydrates in his diet.  Dr. Carpenter has a pdf of the paper on his
web page at:

https://scientists.dmns.org/sites/kencarpenter/default.aspx

Look for "My Publications" and then click on "PDFs"

(BTW: The T. rex's name really isn't "Limpy".  I just got creative.  Oh,
and its diet was probably perfectly normal).
