It'd probably make more sense if said contest was btwn the matriarchs, given that hypercarnivorous dinos (like hypercarnivorous birds) probably had reverse sexual dimorphism (See the following quote). Otherwise, cool pic.
BTW, is it safe to assume that they evolved smaller sickle claws, given their mastery of the art of wooden tools & weapons?
Quoting Bakker (See the 2 paragraphs w/highlighted words: [link] ): "Three hours north of our Lakota quarries we have sites from the end of the Cretaceous, sixty-six million years ago, when that most famous of dinosaurs, T. rex, played the top predator role. The great tyrannosaurs are cousins of the raptors, and the tyrannosaur data matrix helps us look into the mind of the raptor. My colleague from the Black Hills Institute, Pete Larson, has discovered a remarkable thing about the gender roles in rex. The biggest, most powerfully muscled specimens are female, as shown by the structure of the bones around the base of the tail.
Female dominance is a powerful piece of evidence that permits us to reconstruct the private lives of Cretaceous predatory dinosaurs. A family structure built around a large female is rare in meat-eating reptiles and mammals today, but it's the rule for one category of predatory species — carnivorous birds. Owls, hawks, and eagles have societies organized around female dominance, and we can think of tyrannosaurs and raptors as giant, ground- running eagles."
The featherfolk illustration that came later I designed keeping the above in mind. Thanks for your comment.
