What if humans encountered the tyrannosaur T.Rex? Can humans defeat tyrannosaurs?
Tyrannosaurus once ruled the Earth hundreds of millions of years ago suddenly became extinct for unknown reasons. Until now, all we know about this species is still very limited. However, with great curiosity and imagination, humans have built a lot of stories between humans and tyrannosaurs. They became extremely popular books and movies around the world.
So what about scientists, what do they think if these creatures come back to life and encounter humans. Let’s explore that perspective through the interesting comparison battles below.
They are one of the largest terrestrial carnivores ever recorded in the world. The scientific name of this species is Tyrannosaurus (referred to as T.Rex), 12.8m long, weighing from 6 to 8 tons (equivalent to 1/6 – 1/4 of the size of a Boeing 737 – 900).
Meanwhile, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the heaviest person in the world is Uribe from Mexico who weighs only 558kg, nearly 1/10 times the weight of T.Rex. And the tallest person in history – Robert Pershing Wadlow (2.72m high) is only 1/6 the length of a tyrannosaur.
Many people will be surprised to know that biologists rank T-Rex tyrant as one of the most intelligent dinosaurs.
The dinosaur T.Rex has a larger brain than a human brain, but the gray matter used to think is only a very small percentage of the volume. Therefore, if the tyrannosaurs were able to play chess with humans, they would surely lose.
Biologists used 3D models to recreate the eyes and visual abilities of T.Rex tyrannosaurs. The results were surprising: T.Rex had 13 times better eyesight than modern humans.
Dinosaurs’ sharp eyes are just bigger
If you thought that standing still, dinosaurs would not detect their presence, think again, that is a mistake. In fact, the view of the dinosaur T.Rex is wider than that of a hawk.
Tyrannosaurus… not the rival of Olympic athletes
From the fossils obtained, scientists also carried out anatomical reconstructions to measure the speed of the tyrannosaur T.Rex. Accordingly, despite having a body weighing up to 8 tons and a long bulky tail, T.Rex can still run at a speed of 8m/s.
But if you are a normal person, you should prepare mentally
Meanwhile, Usain Bolt – the fastest track and field athlete in the world took less than 10 seconds for 100m, slightly better than tyrant T.Rex. However, if you are just an ordinary person, your maximum running speed is only about 7.9m / s, approximately this dinosaur only.
Running a marathon with a tyrannosaur, even Usain Bolt… can’t help it
However, the sad news is that even Usain Bolt couldn’t outrun the tyrannosaurs on the road. With a long stride and fast cadence, every hour T.Rex runs 0.44km faster than a human. Therefore, if caught in a chase, it is very difficult for humans to let the dinosaurs breathe smoke.
Simply… too fast, too dangerous!
In terms of muscle strength, tyrannosaurs excel. Even with hand weapons, it is almost impossible to injure or kill tyrannosaurs, because it is very difficult for humans to reach them without being eaten.
Even when using a gun to shoot dinosaurs, it is very difficult to kill them because T.Rex has very thick skin and bones, even the bullet must penetrate more than 12cm if it wants to pierce the heart of this creature.
