Dinosaurs at a kill
Dinosaurs at a kill. Computer artwork of a Daspletosaurus (right) defending its kill from a pair of scavenging Troodon dinosaurs. It has killed a Triceratops, a large herbivorous dinosaur. These dinosaurs inhabited what is now North America in the late Cretaceous period, around 75 million years ago. Daspletosaurus was a huge predatory dinosaur, which could reach a length of 9 metres. Troodon was much smaller, and probably hunted smaller herbivores in packs, and scavenged from the kills of larger dinosaurs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a thrilling scene from the late Cretaceous period, approximately 75 million years ago. In this computer artwork by Science Photo Library, we witness an intense encounter between prehistoric giants. A massive Daspletosaurus fiercely defends its hard-earned kill against two cunning Troodon scavengers. The central focus of the image is a lifeless Triceratops, a colossal herbivorous dinosaur that fell victim to the predatory prowess of the Daspletosaurus. With its immense size reaching up to 9 meters in length, this fearsome predator stands tall and vigilant beside its prize. In stark contrast, the smaller Troodon dinosaurs lurk nearby as they plot their next move. These intelligent creatures were known for hunting in packs and scavenging from larger predators' kills. They eagerly eye the opportunity to snatch some morsels from this bountiful feast. Transporting us back in time, this illustration offers a glimpse into North America's ancient landscapes where these magnificent creatures once roamed freely. The attention to detail and realism captured by Science Photo Library truly brings these long-extinct species back to life. As we marvel at this mesmerizing artwork, it serves as a reminder of nature's unrelenting cycle – where predators hunt and prey fall victim while others scavenge for survival.
