I was watching “Life on our Planet”, narrated by Morgan Freeman, and there was a segment about the fighting ritual that the, now extinct, terror birds did when two males fought. It was a very specific ritual.
How do scientists figure this kind of stuff out?
In: Biology
It *is* speculation, more so than many other things they do know about these animals. I wish popular science shows would be more upfront about what parts of the show are well-grounded and what parts are embellished or purely speculative.
But they’re not science journals after all, they’re entertainment programming, and the producers want to make it *more exciting* to keep people’s attention and to have more viewers. So I guess it’s not going away.
