[dinosaur] Fwd: Re: T. rex hunting Alamosaurus



Yes, that sounds reasonable. But what if T. rex was just too hungry to wait any longer? Perhaps its mighty jaws could speed that process up a little. After all, 50+ tonne alamosaurs werenÂt agile enough to avoid a well-placed bite? Tom

If I was a tyrannosaur, I'd follow the herd around until something else brought an adult down for me (disease,
injury, old age, etc). Such an event would have been the land-based equivalent of a whale fall.
