The King of the Dinosaurs just got even BIGGER: T.rex was 70% larger than previously thought and could weigh up to 33,000lbs, study claims Researchers built a model that predicts the typical growth curve of a T. rex They used this to determine the maximum body size of the dinosaur This is 33,000 pounds (15,000 kg) - over the weight of a double-decker bus They warn it is still speculative until a fossilised specimen of this size is found |

Dinosaur with cocaine..? Why? |

In related news, the common field mouse can grow to be six feet tall and weigh as much as 300 pounds. We're just waiting to find one to prove it.

Guess it’s time to bump those 45-70 reloads up another grain of powder.

Yeah, they were so tall that when they got hungry for cheese they would stand on tip-toes and take a bite out of the moon

BS
that is reaching the capacity of bones to carry weight. Other dinos bigger than the TRex walked on 4 legs. |

View Quote There’s a theory they were mostly scavengers. Clearly the legs look designed for speed and hunting. I would be interested in what was there required food range in square miles. Did they just wander around and eat or did they establish a home base with hunting grounds and mark their turf? |

Obviously we're talking bird ancestors and not mammal, but I always figured T-Rex was more like a grizzly bear with the larger Raptor species being wolves. |

I guess the skeletons we have found are not definitive. Physical evidence lies. Damn it all!

That one meme where the Dino is dancing. |

All I know is that T.Rex was the first creature on Earth that could bang a gong.

Reads like someone is desperate for their next "research" grant.
