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?
