I think that is what they say to try to compensate for the puzzle. But look at the feet of something like an Apatosaurus (brontosaurus). Those are not the feet of an animal that spends nearly all of it's time in the water. They estimate that a Apatosaurus weighed 35 tons. Try taking ANYTHING weighing that much into marshland and watch it sink into the mud. If this animal had webbed feet or fins, showing it was mostly an amphibious creature, then yeah, I would buy that story.
