Muttaburrasaurus ate Timtams (but what ate Penguins?)

New evidence indicates that the Australian dinosaur Muttaburrasaurus dined on TimTams, The Southern Hemisphere's equivalent of the Penguin.


The similarity between the TimTam and the famous bourbon biscuit is immediately apparent, the only difference is the chocolate coating on the Australian TimTam. British readers will also note the incredible similarity between TimTams and Penguins, both brands are individually packaged chocolate-covered bourbons. A new family of biscuits has been proposed: the Chocreamidae.



This has profound implications for the theory of co-evolution between dinosaurs and biscuits. It is common knowledge that Iguanodon ate bourbons, and now we know the closely related Muttaburrasurus ate the bourbon-like TimTam. Surely this is more than a coincidence? Another puzzle causing much bafflement is the parrot on the TimTam Packaging. Is there a link here to the penguins? Iguanodontids must have fed on Penguin biscuits and work is currently under way in North Africa, where palaeontologists are searching for conclusive evidence to support the hypothesis  that Ouranosaurus, a sail-backed iguanodontid, found Penguin biscuits irresistible. One expert commented "biscuits are really tasty, especially these chocolate ones".
