Large man-sized KT dromies

["no go" <honkietong@hotmail.com>]

Ugh, I finally had the honour to see a rather dubious Discovery documentry 
on Horner's T.rexes... Though the graphics and animation were great (despite 
some rather disturbing behaviour of Edmontosaurus largely ignoring a 
striding T.rex in their vicnity), the scavenger arguments were pretty, not 
to say the less, propangadic in format and mainly a rehash of Mr. Horner's 
old points as done in "The Ultimate Guide: T.rex" Except with the opposing 
paleontologist conveniently removed and much more cooperative documentry 
producers to present his hypothesis as the final word in the matter, spices 
with grandose proclaimations of "The idea of the Tyrant Lizard King is now 
challanged" To give the impression that Tyrannosaurus rex was a hundredly 
assuredly and provedly a scavenger. All said and done, "The Ultimate Guide: 
T.rex" is almost certainly a more informative and scientific piece of 
documentry production then what I just witnessed.

Now with my whimsical grumblings on the grave "injustice" done to our 
theropod friend done, I shall now ask my question. In the final scene where 
they showed a "mean and stinky" T.rex chasing other predators from a kill, 
which no doubt happened quite often, the predators in this case appeared to 
be man-sized dromies. I am not too clear on this, but aren't the dromies 
that existed in T.rexes' time quite a bit smaller then that? Or were they 
beefed up to make the idea of killing a 5-ton Triceratops feasible? Am I 
missing something?
