| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

So I was looking up sources for this talk I'm doing for my society on Thursday based on strange animal behaviour and while looking for osteophagy in herbivores I came across the paper on Tyrannosaurus rex. I've only browsed it but some of you may like to give it a proper read |

It can be presumed female tyrannosaurs would engage in osteophagy when gravid to gain calcium for the eggs. |
