🦖🩺 Dinosaurs used to be sick or injured... and survive?
🦖🩺 Dinosaurs were sick or injured... and survived?
Many people think
The dinosaur age world is too cruel.
Who hurts = end
But the fossil evidence tells us
No fewer dinosaurs "were ever injured... and survived."
🦴 "self-fixing" bone traces.
Paleontologists found many fossils.
With broken bones.
But the bones are reconnected.
Some have misshapen twists.
So the owner of the bone
Still alive long enough.
Let the body repair itself.
If it dies immediately,
We won't see this kind of welding.
🦖 bite marks from the same species.
There are some predator fossils.
With implanted teeth in the bone.
And there are traces of healing.
It means
It used to be severely bitten.
But not dead.
Battle
Not every time will end in death.
🧬 dinosaurs have a disease.
Scientists found traces of disease in fossils, such as
• Bone infection
• Tumor
• Deterioration
• Gout-like disease
These indicate that
Dinosaurs aren't always strong.
They have weak days.
🐾 So how did it survive?
Factors that may save:
• Strong immune system
• Herd presence (protection)
• Large size (difficult to hunt)
Some may be injured.
But can still continue to eat plants.
Without running anyone.
🦖 Hurt predator = high risk
For the Hunter
Severe injuries.
Could mean not hunting.
If you can't catch the bait,
It could starve to death.
So...
Bone traces that heal in a predator.
Even more interesting.
Because it represents grueling.
🌍 The world is not cruel every second.
Even the world was dangerous.
But not every injury ends life immediately.
Sometimes.
Nature gives you a chance to recover.
And some.
Could live for years.
After a major injury,
🧠 Lessons from the scarred bones.
Fossils don't just tell death.
But it says "the struggle to survive."
Misformed welded bone marks
Is evidence that
Dinosaurs used to hurt
Ever missed
But can still walk
✨. End of chapter.
Next time you see a dinosaur skeleton,
Let's look for a small crack.
Maybe.
It could be the story of
Life that used to fall
But rise again.
Tens of millions of years ago,
# Science is easy to understand
# Significant to know
