It might be because the dermal spines (and I would add armour too) are

it might be because he likes  the sauropods like that... who cares? You are

allow you.

I for one am not sure about the massive neck musculature for hadrosaurs and
haven't included it in any of my recent restorations... but I might if I
get convinced.
