That doesn't mean a predator will not eat her own young. Sometimes, for the survival of the species as a whole, the mom of an animal will KILL and EAT her young if their is a problem with them that would later cause the young to die of starvation.

2. Not in the case of tyrannosaurs or Majungasaurus. There are bones that showed cannibalism that were from when the animal being eaten was STILL ALIVE, showing they did kill each other for food, most likely when no other prey is around.



Just to say, Nantyrannus is still being debated. There is a chance that it is its own species.
