在自由漫游的野牛和驼鹿的未受干扰的范围内进行的野外观察工作中，我已经确定了大约8%的表面骨骼由于记录的食肉动物活动而被破坏或绿色断裂，5%由于野牛的践踏或灰尘翻滚而被破坏或绿色断裂。较小物种的骨骼遭受高达50%的断裂。简要描述了野生狼和熊的骨骼变形，以及践踏和打滚引起的骨折的特征。
During observational fieldwork in undisturbed ranges of free-roaming bison and moose, I have identified approximately 8% of surface bones as spirally or green-fractured due to documented carnivore activity, and 5% as spirally or green-fractured due to trampling or dust wallowing by bison. The bones of smaller species suffer up to 50% breakage. Bone modifications by wild wolves and bears are briefly described, as are characteristics of fractures caused by trampling and wallowing.
