"Gigantoraptor Skeletal Reconstruction"

First, a big thanks to Dan (and others) who posted links to this 
intersting animal.  Second, ahhhhh!!!!!!  The left leg is horribly 
hyper-extended.  Why would someone do that to the poor dinosaurs.  And 
more importantly, why would someone publish it?  Well, it DOES make the 
animal look taller, but that hardly excuses violating the anatomy.
