Sometime later, Twilight and the others were at a desert like area. And saw a glimpse of a traveling herd of Apatosaurus.

2 months later.

And the drought has continue longer than usual.

And soon they saw Al still limping, it's clear that he hasn't been showing any sign of recovery.

It has cost Al dear. If anything, his limp has got worse.

Al limps and then stop for a moment.

Because of his poor condition, his body is not healing well.

Twilight then looks through her binoculars, and saw the middle toe of his right foot badly swollen.

It appears he broke his middle toe in the fall. And it is now badly infected.

Too weak to hunt, he'll lucky to survive much longer.

Soon Al begins limp away.

The drought, drags on.

Sometime after a few days, the Mane 7 have lost sight of Al and are searching for him.

But weren't the only ones in the area.

A pair of young Allosaurus are out hunting for insects amongst the sand dunes.

The group followed them a bit, and when they came to the next bend.

And saw something that made them deeply sadden.

Instead they find something much larger.

The emaciated body...

Of Big Al.

They all sadly gaze upon Al's dead body.

Al never reach his full size. Instead he died as a mature adolescent, in a dried up riverbed.

Eventually, the rains would arrive. And gently bury his in slit, for 145 million years.

145 million years later, Al's skeleton is now preserved and displayed in the University of Wyoming.

The process persevered his skeleton perfectly.

Including the lumps, where his ribs healed after their break.

The raging infection on his middle toe, and at least 17 other injuries and diseases.

In death, Big Al represents a frozen moment.

In the Fast and Furious life...

Of a Carnivorous Dinosaur.
