- More details about whale falls
- Details on how much meat different organisms would eat (T. rex, Allosaurus, etc.)
- Vulture senses: smell, sight and flying for scavenging
- Allosaurus sense of smell
- How gliding is useful for scavenging
- Elephant scavenging
- More questions: Why Allosaurus and not another carnivore; Simplifying the model; Pterosaurs functioning like vultures
- Response to criticsms; Morphology of Allosaurus; Using the model with T. rex as a scavenger and Triceratops as the carrion
