Baby titanosaur offers new insight into early life
An NSF-funded team from Macalester College, used a high-powered CT scanner and microscopes to study thin-sections of the tibia and limb bones of the Rapetosaurus. They discovered that these baby behemoths were active, capable of a wider array of maneuvers than adult members of their species and didn't need parental care after hatching.
