It is much easier to simply bully a smaller predator away from its kill than waste all that energy actively hunting. A group of Tyrannosaurs might have been a family unit hunting until the offspring are mature enough to begin their own family, much like modern Corvids. Several years of a group of large animals predating an area would require them to be less picky about a 'fresh' kill. I think the main requirement would be getting the calories in any way possible.Always exciting stuff being revised in paleontology.Thanks for the heads up on the pronouns. I used to haunt the Museum of Natural History in New York when I was young every chance I got. It still impresses all these years later when I took my daughters. I can imagine 'Sue' is equally (if not more) impressive whether in their 'Fleshy' form or their original skeleton.</blockquote>
