Skeletons in Dinosaur Closets



How conclusive/persuasive is the evidence that Coelophysis practiced 
cannibalism? I tend to think of all dinosaurs as noble creatures and 
would prefer the image of a mother dinosaur sacrificing herself to save 
her children rather than one so self-centered that she would devour her 
own offspring. Are there many vertebrate species--extant or extinct--that 
devour their own kind and/or offspring?
