Not true. Open up your copy of David Norman's (1985) _Illustrated
Encyclopaedia of Dinosaurs_ to the section on "Hypsilophodontids", and
you'll see a _Tenontosaurus_ doing little more than chewing a few
branches and idly wondering why the illustrator has decided to bequeath
him/her such an extraordinarily long tail (oh, sorry, the blurb explains
why - 'to defend itself from packs of _Deinonychus_').

    Cheers,
