My theory is that a fully grown T-rex, based on their typical growth curve, would be 13,000 feet tall, and could carry up to 200 Messiahs.
This is still speculative until a fossilized specimen of this size is found. |

Once we manage to clone them and start raising them as livestock - I wonder how large a T-Rex capon/hokie will get.

It was speculated some dinos had near indeterminate growth but that whole eating enough prey to keep a 30k lb lizard going would probably get a lot of them if shit got lean.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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? Id think something close to a crocodile. With or without water, ambush were the prey has to go. It would also make a lot of sense if they were more aquatically oriented considering the mass and bipedal locomotion |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was thinking I was the only one who had been to a museum and seen actual complete T-Rex skeletons. Uh-huh. The idea was to lie that the individual specimens that have been found are not the size that they are. Thank god a couple of smart people like you know better and caught them at it. /sarc 32 adult t-rex specimens exist. probably over a billion individuals existed chanced the biggest was fossilized - approximately zero gd thinks running some math on how big the biggest individual may have been is somehow a terrible conspiracy |

This might just be science journalism at work. Having seen how my own reasearch was misinterpreted in the press I'm not sure I'm going to jump to condeming the study.
I'm not sure what percentile the journalist is using but she says a 33,000 lb TRex would br like a 6'9" human that's a big clue. The 99th percentile height for a male human world wide is 6'3.6". The article seems to be talking about the equivalent of a 5 or 6 sigma TRex which is not very interesting. Mike |

Hmm well the fossil record, being what it is, represents something other than what the animal looked like. You can “kind of” guess the normal size for the animal based on how many specimens have been found. Of course the more animals you find the better guess on its looks.
Thirty two isn’t a whole hell of a lot to go on and you are basically only getting fossils from areas that had the conditions to fossilize the animal in the first place. Of the thirty two found they do come in various sizes some smaller (Nanotyrannus) but it’s an ongoing debate of if some of these are young Trex or a different animal all together. Long story short since most of the animals found are in the same size “area” it would be a good guess that it’s the average size of the animal. One thing we can all agree on though. Allosaurus was way cooler! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: BS that is reaching the capacity of bones to carry weight. Other dinos bigger than the TRex walked on 4 legs. Yeah this was my first thought, I know the atmospheric conditions were way different and supposedly super oxygenated which allowed stuff to grow bigger than now, but I assumed bone density/weight limits would be similar given Earth's gravity would probably have been the same. |

Did they just wander around and eat or did they establish a home base with hunting grounds and mark their turf? The scavenger theory might also make sense with iirc the skin imprints that exist of them being without feathers. On the other hand, there's another theory from the late 90s [Hans Gruber voice] I read about it in Science News[/Gruber voice] that tyrannosaurs and other larger predators like them would still be insufficiently powerful to take down big saurupods...unless they worked in packs. It's really easy to hypothesize that deinonochus and other mansized predators would to take down medium sized prey because it's consistent with wolves and elk. It's another to start saying big predatory theropods were going around like lions. And because it's another radical change in how we view these animals (like the resistance to the meteor impact theory or feathers, etc), I don't remember how much traction it gained. It's also terrifying. |
