干燥的河床上,一头食肉龙试图进攻一只甲龙,恐怕这只食肉龙选了一个难缠的对象,甲龙尾端武装了重锤,只要挨一下,食肉龙就会被打成重伤。左边的灵活的似鸟龙正在到处寻找小哺乳动物充饥。由于目前的冲突,一小群戟龙和一小群鸭嘴龙准备放弃这里可口的植物,它们已经走到了树林的边缘。
This image represents a 75-million-year-old scene from an area
around what is now southeast Alberta, Canada. The focal point of
this scene involves a confrontation in the middle of a dry
stream bed in which an armored dinosaur, Euoplocephalus,
tries to fend off the attack of a tyrannosaur, Albertosaurus,
with its bony tail club. Keeping a wary eye on the fight is the
ornithomimid Struthiomimus, content to try to find a spot
to eat a recently caught meal consisting of a small mammal. On
the far bank of the stream, small groups of the crested
hadrosaur Corythosaurus and the spike-frilled ceratopsian
Styracosaurus beat a hasty retreat from the
conflict.(words from amnh.org) |
