Burrowing #dinosaurs, because why not ?

T. neglectus' poor cognitive and hearing abilities, coupled with powerful arms and legs and overdeveloped senses of smell and balance, are all features characteristic of animals that spend time underground and/or engage in digging behaviors today.

"While we can't say definitively that these animals lived part of their lives underground, we know that their ancestors did," Button says. "This fact, together with their unique combination of sensory abilities, strongly suggests T. neglectus engaged in similar behaviors."
