Considering that all we have are fossils, and that the teeth appear to be from a herbivore, I’m not certain how the “scientists” can come to the conclusion that the behavior is “timid” and “gentile.” There are modern herbivores that are neither timid nor gentle.

Reminds me of a couple scenes in Jurassic Park, where the "expert" (paleontologist) assures the kids that they have nothing to fear from the herbivores because they are plant eaters. Meanwhile, most herbivores today will attack under various circumstances.

Because the critter was small they decided it was timid? Has anyone ever known a timid Chihuahua?

That looks more like the work of a low budget Craig’s list tooth technician, also does butt enhancement.
