Adding to the intrigue is that opisthotonos is usually seen in warm-blooded animals like birds and mammals but not reptiles. Faux’s paper on opisthotonos, published in March, rethinks dinosaurs not just as having died for reasons other than meteor impacts and volcanic eruptions but also advances the argument that these creatures may have had hot blood pumping through their veins.

Interesting.

Very. Unless they generally died by hitting their heads on low-hanging branches, or were very susceptible to strokes (fossil brain tumors have already been found in at least one dino), it appears to reinforce the view that there was a single, basically global cause for their disappearance.
