Carnotaurus...a summary perhaps?

[Erik Omtvedt <omtvedt@mail.com>]

Well after all that, how are we to look at this big beautiful freak of nature? 
Narrow lower jaw like Allosaurus for possibly digging into kills like vultures? 
Blunt, powerful upper jaw like a bulldog for a nasty bite? Small but not 
useless forearms?  

Perhaps all of the above makes the right image. Chasing after its prey at full 
speed, Big C latches on or knocks down the victim and fastens itself like a 
pitbull and shakes flesh violently from the animal. Perhaps its forearms are 
used to support it's head feeding on the dead. It seems like the horns may be 
for display. Male to male, or female to female confrontations were not so much 
ramming but shoving with the head at times...usually when predators of equal 
killing potenial spar off, both parties set a sort of unsaid limit to how far 
they will go. Occasionally moose and others will fight to the death, but only 
in extremes.

Regardless, I'm sure we will know more soon. Perhaps Carnotaurus was a genetic 
mistake by the aliens, who are all laughing at us now. Or maybe Big C is the 
dinosaurian answer to halloween. Who knows.
