What nags me  is that even if the illustration looks fanciful it seems 
to represent what the article is saying...  that the hatchlings would 
be 'crawlers' and then become bipeds as adults. That is pretty novel to 
me.
Could it be that the writer of the article was following the 
illustration given or is it a  new  theory backed by Robert Reisz as 
the article seems to imply?
