      That’s a really interesting question! It’s surprisingly difficult to work out how dinosaurs behaved just by looking at their fossils, as something like whether or not they hunted in packs isn’t something that usually gets preserved. The fossils of some meat eating dinosaurs like Allosaurus have been together though, which gives us an idea that they might have lived and hunted together, but we’ve never found anything like that for Masiakasaurus. That being said, just because we haven’t found any evidence yet for Masiakasaurus hunting in packs, doesn’t mean they didn’t!
