I wonder if a large African elephant could take on any of those beasts?
 
Doesn't it depend if you're dead or not? I seem to remember one of them was more of a scavenger than the other. According to current belief of course. How would a paleontologist find if a certain carnivore were a hunter or a scavenger?

Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine".
