The video discusses the Allosaurus, focusing on a well-preserved skeleton named Big Al discovered in 1991. Paleontologists have studied its bones to understand its life. The Allosaurus had a brain shaped like a crocodile's, suggesting similar behavior, but its skeleton indicated it moved like an ostrich. Big Al's bones showed rapid growth but also significant damage, indicating a challenging life. Injuries included a broken tail and fractured hand, likely from hunting or fighting. A foot infection may have led to its death from thirst during a drought. The eventual burial preserved Big Al's skeleton, providing insights into its life 145 million years later.
