Tyrannosaurus Cow

In what totally reminds me of a Far Side cartoon, paleontologists have discovered a new, cowlike dinosaur. NYT has the scoop here. They really could have come up with a cooler name though...
The researchers reported yesterday that the dinosaur, named Nigersaurus taqueti, had a short neck, delicate bones and a habitual head posture pointed directly toward the ground. This was a ground-level browser like modern cows.
