It was a really pleasant surprise to see Greg Erickson in this video and sharing his findings in this article. I remember first seeing him in the 'Making-Of' documentary for 'Walking With Dinosaurs', he was quite young then. And then I saw him again in the Horizon episode 'T. Rex: Warrior or Wimp?', there he was testing the bite forces of crocodiles to determine the strength of a T. rex bite force, but estimates were not conclusive at that point, with bite force estimates as high as 40,000 pounds of force. As much as it is a nostalgic feeling, it makes me feel old as well. Like seeing Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum or Laura Dern aged up from their film counterparts. With such an incredible bite force that exceeds that of similar giant theropods like Giganotosaurus, I wouldn't be surprised if a single T. rex bite would be enough to mortally wound a Sauropod, if it were faced with such a challenge. _______________ "Life will find a way." | |

| So a new study claims that T. rex couldn't run beyond 17 mph.
And I call this bullcrap. We know that hadrosaurs and big ceratopians could go up to 25-30 mph. We also know that T. rex hunted healthy prey via semi-healed injuries that those dinosaurs suffered due to T. rex bites. So T. rex had to have been capable of some bursts of speed.
The only way how this makes sense is if it was specially adapted to hunt the 90+ foot long sauropod, Alamosaurus, which was much slower. And as of now, that dinosaur only got as far north as Central Utah. And T. rex had a much larger range/distribution. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

| According to Thomas Holtz and David Hone, T. rex really didn't need to be fast to be a dominant predator.
Holtz also makes the point that the study is flawed since it doesn't take into account the speed of it's prey. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

It's interesting that even armored dinosaurs used camouflage. I always love it when new discoveries shed light on what colour dinosaurs would have had when they were alive, ten years ago we didn't know that Microraptor's feathers were an iridescent black, and now we know that Ankylosaurs needed camouflage to avoid large theropods. We tended to think of them as the "invulnerable" herbivores, but I think that honour might go to Triceratops if this evolutionary trait is any indication. _______________ "Life will find a way." | |

Don't forget the titanosaurs, although even that's up for debate since even an Alamosaurus fossil had T. rex teeth found nearby. I'd like to think that only the nodosaurs used camouflage while the advanced ankylosaurs didn't. Or at least full grown ones since they had more solid armor and that war hammer for a tail. Even more so those that lived in China and Mongolia since they didn't have quite as much trees as North America did. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

Depending on what website you read, it's between 112-120 ft long and roughly 70 tons. Though I believe that Alamosaurus weighed just as much despite being a bit smaller at 90+ ft long. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.
