As a final thought - how could a creature have been successful if it had a
significant risk of death every time it sprinted after it's dinner?
"Nature" doesn't design things that badly.
Is there a consensus on whether _T.Rex_ actually sprinted for its dinner? Last I heard (and I'm admittedly out of the loop on such things) there was debate over active hunting vs. scavenging (sp).
thanks
