An interesting follow-up to the recent thread on Tyrannosaur vision. Fascinating stuff.

Youth was easy for big predatory dinosaurs – but adulthood and old age much harder to survive...

Old age is inevitably fatal if nothing else gets you first.

Great article. Thanks for posting it. When I first saw the headline, I thought it was going to be another article where people reinterpreted history to suit their personal sociological perspectives. They seem to have good evidence for their claims, and speak in slightly guarded terms, indicating they're open to new interpretations if the evidence suggests.

Is that where Fred Flintstone shopped 6000 years ago? These could be the remains of a one of Fred's Famous holiday BBQs.

"adulthood and old age much harder to survive"

Didnt know it was possible to survive old age or adulthood, even for humans.

I like the part about the hideous bites found on the faces of adults. How hot would a female Tyrannosaur have to be for a young suitor to risk getting his face removed? I think I'd just opt for Tyrannosaur Monkdom.
