Jurassic June day 4.
It is breeding season, and two large dominant male Alectrosaurus fight over females and territory. Fights consist of wrestling and pushing more than biting and scratching, and serious injuries are rare. The losing Alectrosaurus is pinned to the ground until submission, where it is then allowed to retreat. Only if the loser again challenges the victor, could this result in the powerful jaws being used. Secondary fights of this kind can be devastating.
