Finally an accurate drawing depicts ''How it should have ended''


Tyrannosaurus aren't The best theropod nor the best dinosaur hunter
İnstead fossils showing they're very terrible at hunting; most of them actually killed by very angry Triceratops'es & similiar animals >:]

Tyrannosaurus did have its flaws, but it is still one of the greatest large hunting animals we had ever discovered.
With powerful jaws that could kill with a single devastating bite, eye precision even better than hawks (13x better than human's), sense of smell extremely acute, hearing so keen it could hear low frequency sounds, a very rapid healing a internal repairing,  as well as a broad and very robust build... It is easily one of the greatest and sufficient large predatory dinosaurs ever discovered.
And no, nothing I sad was even exaggerated. 


The evidence actually show that they lived very violent lives. This is because not only was their prey designed to fight back (and potentially kill them easily; yet the tyrannosaurs were lucky to survive to even adulthood), but also due to tyrannosaurs evidently being very aggressive towards each other. Tyrannosaurs even evidently cannibalized each other, if given the chance. 
Most of their injuries were likely even done by other tyrannosaurs, which they fought  throughout their lives (whether from family groups or rival tyrannosaurs in general).

I am well aware of that; however how much I said not the biggest Theropod; it was probably one of the most efficient Predators of all time


Thought I am aware of injuries made by other tyrannosaurus'es I thought cannibalism theory is weakened; especially after its almost certain that rex'es lived in family groups

To you it was "probably one of the most efficient predators of all time" yet you claimed that "they're very terrible at hunting"? What sense does that make? Needless to say however, it was by no means terrible at hunting (its preferred prey at least), otherwise, how would it have survived for ~2 million years?

Of course, Tyrannosaurus wasn't the best dinosaurian hunter; in fact no predator can really be a "better hunter" than another. The only way an animal can actually be a better hunter than another is if the latter isn't primarily, if at all, meant to be a predator!

I know this is an old comment, but I had to get that out of my system this time.

I didn't said Terrible at hunting; thought I don't understand the rage.

You didn't? Then please explain to me what was this supposed to mean.

Just like any animal Rex had failures; several failures mr triggered snowflake.

Dinopithecus In reply to grisador [2016-10-13 20:02:35 +0000 UTC]

So suddenly "they're very terrible at hunting" means they sometimes failed at hunting? Which I never even denied?

Hahahaha, "Mr. Triggered snowflake". Are you resorting to name calling after you've been called out on your contradictory statements? Pitiful.

Oooh, I made adjustments to my comment to make sure I conveyed my point across the way I wanted to, how relevant. While you resort to petty name-calling without any basis, yep, I'm definitely worse /sarcasm off.

You have a nice day too pal.
