Dinosaur Fight Club!

We all know that dinosaurs were basically the coolest creatures ever until us humans came along. But aside from their daily, stereotypical dinosaur stuff, including devouring plants, smaller dinosaurs, and sadly, our distant mammal relatives, they even fought, killed, and ate each other. Exciting, right!? Believe it or not, there is evidence to say that there was such thing as dinosaur cannibalism. In Alberta, Canada (tyrannosaurs seemed to really dig Canada for some reason), a particular dinosaur skull was found in 1994. Upon further examination of the bones, paleontologist made a startling discovery: the skull contained various healed injuries. Only these weren't "fell of a bike and wasn't wearing a helmet" injuries, there were wounds the size and shape of none other than tyrannosaur teeth. Given that the wounds healed, and at different extents, showed to researchers that these injuries were not the cause of death per say, but were periodical attacks from fellow tyrannosaurs. As if the top of the food chain couldn't get enough to eat?
Aside from the discovery of inter-species dinosaur duels, the research shows that even the top scientists and learners in all aspects of education and research can take even the smallest hint of evidence and plunge deeper into the topic to really rewrite history and even shape the future with their advancements. Even something as old (and as awesome) as dinosaurs can still teach lessons to researchers today.
