Re: DINOSAUR BEHAVIOR

["Michael" <tons@ccs.netside.com>]

Tigers occasionally hunt together as well as lions. Young males hunt 
together at times for several months after leaving their mothers and 
before becoming solitary.  Cheetahs hunt together in packs 
of up to five males as well as sister groups.  Injured and crippled 
cheetahs have been known to be cared for by these groups for long 
periods of time.  I don't think cheetah cooperative behavior is as refined as 
lions but they don't need it.  I've never actually seen tigers hunt 
together, but Alan Shoemaker assures me they do.

I think of dinosaurs as being like hawks or at least chickens in 
terms of brain power.  Since no one really knows, I entitled to my 
opinion, but I would like to know if it's realistic.
