Good article.

Also before reading this I could never have imagined that the flatfish species with lopsided eyes were an argument FOR Intelligent Design before.

Interesting article. I wasn't even aware of the giant dromaeosaur found in Argentina.. Another 20+ foot raptor makes for an interesting predator. It's arms were short however.. Very strange for a raptor.

Utahraptor is still my favourite though
