Where did you get that to equal forensics? Known three-toed dinosaurs are carnivores. Certainly, there is a chance the critter could be a plant eater, but thank for a moment...

The modern animals that dwell along the beaches and then go swimming (seals, sealions, walruses, whatnot) are carnivores; they enter the water to hunt fish or shellfish. There isn't a whole lot of grazing available that close to shore. So, we have two data points for the animal being a carnivore. In the actual published paper (not the article above) odds are the researchers will say the animal was probably a carnivore.

Maybe they're entering the water to bath. To cool off. To go swimming. To get to another island. I've got a dog that lies to get in the water too... but he doesn't hunt fish.

It's built on supposition. That's what we're telling you. And you can believe it because you're smarter than the rest of us.
