But that would imply the kind of social behavior the tar-trap scenario is
supposed to
argue against. Besides -- five other individuals were killed. Is such
behavior -- one
after another until so many are dead -- known from other group hunters?
Is it clear that no other dinos were found with the so-called "pack"?
Pack-hunting would seem to imply at least some other complex social group
behaviors,
like group raising of young, food-sharing, and complex communication systems.
Crocs
exhibit some of these behaviors. Do any birds? Did tyrannoraurs have the
brain for it?
