Our #TriviaTuesday question asked, What type of injury led to Big Al's death?

Though Big Al has 19 identified injuries, the one that most likely led to his death was a broken toe. This wound healed poorly and would have kept Big Al from being able to hunt. Without the ability to hunt, this natural predator would have become weak and unable to protect himself from other predators.
