Canadian researchers who included specialists from surgeons to paleontologists have identified what they say is the first known cancer in a dinosaur.

The conclusion not only sheds light on the history of what is still one of humanity's most feared diseases, but also hints at how the ancient lizards may have lived with -- and protected -- each other.

The Centrosaur fossil was originally collected in the 1970s from a bone bed in Alberta's badlands. The area has provided hundreds of samples of the horned dinosaur. "This is a bone-forming lesion -- it's laying down bone," said co-author Seper Ekhiari, an orthopedic surgery resident at McMaster.It wasn't a repaired break either. New bone around fractures forms in predictable layers.The growth extended all the way down the bone, which a fracture scar wouldn't do. Holes in the fossil suggested large, disorderly blood vessels, which cancerous tissues are known to develop.

Duh? Would have more patience if broke with needed mufflers repairs going unattended. Was a choice. Huh? Duh?
