Dinosaur behavior. An illustrated guide / Поведение динозавров. Иллюстрированное руководство
T. rex crashes through the trees and leaps on a juvenile Triceratops. The huge predator has scaly skin and tufts of colorful feathers over its eyes; it crunches through the bones of the terrified herbivore with a force of several tons . . .
We are familiar with this kind of scene from the movies, but how much of it is guesswork? When we look at dinosaur behavior, we’re examining every aspect of how these remarkable beasts lived.

We have fossils, and we have smart ways to compare those fossils to modern animals. <...>
