Re: The One True King



I agree, this is the stuff I'm most interested in.  The whole "who is stronger" thing does have an appeal but isn't very realistic.  I mean look at all the factors you have to consider.  Was the individual T.rex or Giganotosaurus an experienced fighter, was one better able to move on a given terrain than the other, is the fight taking place at night? etc.  Assuming that the animals are in identical physical condition and are on a equal fighting field it really only matter who gets the first bite in as I doubt that either animal could survive a bite from the other that was meant to kill (if the rex survived it would probably die from blood loss later on while the Giganoto would die instantly if its neck was crunched).  Even than it doesn't matter who is fastest, its so subjective that its not really worth speculating about.  I believe the attraction people have to these kinds of questions is based on them not viewing dinosaurs as actual once living, breathing animals but as super monsters like on movies.  Then again it is just in a lot of people to speculate about these things.

We should be interested in how the animals lived...during an average 24 hour period,
