dinosaur injuries

[dyno77]

 This particular topic doesn't get mentioned enough and is really interesting.
For example sue the t rex suffered numerous pathlogies ,damaged shoulder blade,damaged ribs ,damaged foot ,torn tendon in the right arm,and it still survived because the ribs healed.This alone in my view shows how tough these dinosaurs were and in my view and its now been suggested alot of these weren't just from some playing around with another t rex. They were beating each other up to the death in some cases and not for food either even though t rex was known to be a cannibal .
This is why i dont agree with the few experts who say dinosaurs lives were mostly doing nothing and eating or singing and dancing which in my view is ridiculous..
There needs to be serious documentary investigating the injuries of dinosaurs and im aware it gets mentioned sometimes in certain documentaries but never covered in depth.
keep in mind a large percentage of dinosaur fossils have some type of injury and this needs to be examined in my view.

Modern animals become similarly injured or worse all the time, doesn't mean their lives aren't spent mostly sleeping, peacefully searching for food, or amicably interacting with their own kind.

Tyrannosaurus in particular has come into new light lately with solid evidence they did play (wear on prey animal bones that shows repeated evidence of being thrown and carried around), a lot of these injuries could have been the result of accidents, or Tyrannosaurus may even have been social enough that injured members were able to survive off of the leftovers of others, thus meaning more of them would survive being injured.

Boring as it may seem, dinosaurs likely weren't much different to modern animals in terms of how they lived their day to day lives.

Large modern predators like lions certainly fight and get badly injured quite often, but the majority of their time is spent doing more mundane things like resting, socializing, etc. Having to hunt large, dangerous prey in an environment where other large, dangerous predators exist means a higher likelihood of injury, even if you are only engaged in the dangerous activity for a small fraction of the time.

Well, the Big Al WWD special was pretty much based entirely on its injuries...

A lot of hadrosaurs show tail injuries, apparently from being stepped on by their herdmates while they were lying down. Sleeping and socializing are dangerous too!

This open access article is solely about injuries in the Dilophosaurus wetherilli holotype, pretty detailed and interesting: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0149140

And it is not even the only one: https://palaeo-electronica.org/content/2019/2559-dilophosaurus-forelimbs

While working on my Tenontosaurus I read this:

It's a whole paper about a Tenontosaurus showing healed wounds probably from a fall.
