Dinosaur Island supports cannibalistic dinosaurs! Just click on the ‘cannibal’ box.

As recently reported in Science Magazine (here), “[t]he group of ferocious meat-eating dinosaurs known as tyrannosaurs—of which the most famous member is Tyrannosaurus rex—may have sometimes turned their sharp teeth on each other.” In other words, they were cannibals! “In a study published online this week in PeerJ, the researchers conclude from both the spacing and shape of the puncture marks on its skull that it was bitten by another tyrannosaur—quite possibly another Daspletosaurus—while it was still alive, probably as the result of a dino-on-dino fight.”

Dinosaur Island supports such behavior. When creating a dinosaur species in the simulation, just click on the ‘cannibal’ box in the ‘diet’ section.
