    The last sentence should have read:

    "(In fact, the muskox and wagon train movies (and TV versions) are the
ONLY places that such actions are found - ie. protect the young and
vulnerable by placing them in the middle of a circle with weapons facing
out)."


    To my knowledge, no OTHER animal uses the muskox strategy - it is pure
speculation to assign this behavior to any other animal - especially extinct
dinosaurs.   It does make a great painting though......
