Nothing stupid about this one - but since I'm a dinosaur nut I thought I share this study.
A group in England found that a group of pygmy dinosaurs evolved on a subtropical island near Bristol.
The Bristol Dinosaur, Thecodontosaurus, grew to only about 7 feet tall, as opposed to it's 33-foot-tall cousins on the mainland.
The island or islands they lived on caught fire a lot, so it seems the poor little guys might have died in a wildfire.
Too bad, I'd love to have one as a backyard pet.
The group has a release here if you want to learn more:

Cheers, or should I say Raaaaaaaaaaaah!
