"Dinosaurs Were Bruisers"

An interesting article about fossil evidence of combat and injuries between dinosaurs:

"Big, fearsome, and dangerous. Dinosaurs remind many people of fantastic combat scenes that result in grave injuries, or a painful death. In reality, fighting is no more than just a tiny slice of any animal's life. However, fossils found with evidence of injuries tell a tale of how the extinct animals interacted with one another."

Interesting article. I'm glad that Dilophosaurus specimen was mentioned. That poor creature had it real hard.

Well, that does not surprise me. Dinosaurs were just like the animals of our epoch. They lived active lives and were sometimes injured. Just like us all. Nothing new Under the sun.
