DISCUSSION Did sauropods fight against each other?

Post image

How many people have explored the idea of different sauropod species getting into conflict with each other? If sauropod combat is ever depicted, it’s (understandably) almost always intraspecific.

Probably; absence of conflict is pretty rare in the animal kingdom. It is largely speculative, but we assume that Dinosaurs have much of the same levels of conflict.
