    Succinctly put. As has been said before, the younger animals probably 
acted more as active predators while the more mature and larger members were 
slowed down by size, age and susceptibility to injury (the "Farlow Effect") 
and, as a result, may have hunted less-relying more on scavenging or 
hijacking prey killed by others.
    Thanks to everyone, especially HWMBO (He Who Must Be Obeyed) Mickey Rowe 
for getting to the bottom of this question. DV.
