Majungatholus carnivorous???

Question

the history.com's Jurassic fight club showed that majungatholus was carnivorous, because the fossil had bite marks from a another... i'm just wondering... can't the majungatholus be Scavenging a fellow majungatholus? rather than being carnivorous?

Answer 1

Yeah, they don't know what the bite marks are from, unless they were there, I mean could've happened in a fight for a mate or something, you never know...

Answer 2

"and is mating after a killing of a offspring common in the animal world? :S..."

Not sure exactly the circumstances you're asking about, but male lions will kill all the cubs who come from a different male, which puts the females back in heat and they then mate.  It's not like, immediately after the killing happens.  I'm not sure how long it takes for the females to go back in heat but I'm guessing anywhere from a few days to months.

I said lions, but now that I think about it housecats do the same thing.  It's probably a fairly common thing among cats, and I'm sure it happens with other animals too.  There's an evolutionary advantage, you both add more of your own genes to the gene pool, and remove your competitors genes.

Answer 3

Yes.
