Bulgarsaurus had brain cancer and has a broken leg. Really? Mhmm. Wirex had his tail bitten off by another Tier Rex and as a bone infection in his right femur. Wow. Yeah. Lane is the most complete Triceratops better found in the world, rank those are her skin impressions on the back wall right there. What? Yeah. This is Jurassicbomb. She's an ichthyosaur, and she died while giving birth. Man, that's sad. Isn't it? The spikes at the end of a stegosaurus's tail are actually called the thagomizer after a far sight comment. Well, I thought it was cool.
