      Because Science Could you please do an episode of because science on spinosaurus versus Tyrannosaurus rex
      For several reasons :
      1) they didn’t even exist at the same time .
      2) they weren’t even on the same continent
      3) Spinosaurus jaw was made to eat fish
      4) and would have been far too weak to bite at Tyrannosaurus rex neck and fling it 10 feet away
      I understand that the movie Jurassic Park III put it in there for entertainment value but people on TH-cam are talking about it like they could be some believability to this so could you please, I’m begging please rectify this Yours truly an avid watcher of your channel by the way I remember when you had shorthair thanks much Richard Parks

    @3vrLol 6 ปีที่แล้ว +102

    The tail of a T-Rex was probably used to balance that massive top-weight of the animal. If so, it would also be very strong, and as you have illustrated very well (this is probably the best visualization on dinosaur size I've seen in a while) it is also incredibly long. Combining those two facts, coming up behind a T-Rex in order to mess around with its legs might be just as dangerous (if not more so) as coming at it from the front, since just one sweep with that massive tail would be enough to send you flying several feet and crush your body into paste.

    • @CoyoteCamouflage
      @CoyoteCamouflage 6 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      Oddly, I think the T-Rex's size still plays against it. As Kyle demonstrated, the tail itself is quite high off the ground, and given the amounts of balance that such a large creature would require, I'm not sure that it could actively utilize it's tail very well against a small, low-to-the-ground target.
      Not that you wouldn't be smooshed with one hit. Rather, I think that the range of motion required to use the tail as a weapon beyond a little coincidental wiggle-waggle would cause enough torque to tear the Rex's hips apart. Is it a danger? Absolutely, but I definitely think it's much less "actively" dangerous than the front end.

    • @JohnA...
      @JohnA... 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I agree. It might still be a bit dangerous, but its probably so important to the balance of the animal that it wouldn't be able to effectively use it as any sort of weapon against something intentionally without also having to worry about tipping over itself, thus negating any effective use of it as a weapon, and more just an obstacle to avoid.

      You need to think about this. Bears fight wolves. Tigers fight wild dogs. There were smaller predators that T-rex competed with and probably fought from time to time. It probably was formidable defending itself. T-rex ruled for millions of years. It was probably not as fragile as this video suggests.

    Ever since I studied some engineering, I've always been extra fascinated by the massive complications dinosaurs must have dealt with to be so massive. Look at elephants, which stand more or less on their toes, and can't jump. I was a bit surprised to realize that a fall would be very lethal to the larger dinosaurs. I wonder what their fights would have been like, with their limitations in mind? If two t-rexi fought over territory, if one got knocked over, this would probably have been lethal, and if they preferred posturing more over shows of actual strength. If one good blow could mean death, it'd be a bad idea to pick fights I suppose!

    @MichaelBerthelsen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +194

    What tensile strength would you need your tripwire to have, in order for it to not snap when being exposed to a sprinting T-rex hitting it with one leg first, accelerating forward? And is this a realistic force for vines to have, since that's what would most likely be available?

    • @JohnA...
      @JohnA... 6 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      A decent steal cable would probably be sufficient enough to not snap, but your would have to tie it to something that it wouldn't also just break or somehow come lose from. Though we are talking about something that is exceptionally top heavy, so just a small force applied to unbalance it would probably be enough to accomplish the task even if it did come loose or break in the process.

    • @kfrews
      @kfrews 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Also it could break, all it has to do is cause a misstep breaking the stride and causing momentum to topple the beast. The balance point is so precise any disruption could be catastrophic.

    • @blazedgamingkr
      @blazedgamingkr 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      An arresting cable from an aircraft carrier, like the Eisenhower CVN69, should work just fine without snapping. As Kyle said in the video, T-Rex would be lucky to "sprint" at all. So you would only have to topple it's mass at 11mph. Which is made easier by it being extremely top heavy.

    • @moviemaker2011z
      @moviemaker2011z 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      steel cables or even a regular heavy duty chain would be about in the ballpark. like kyle said its top heavy and might be easy to tip over. so even if the chain snapped in half it would probably have been enough to make the T-rex lose its footing and likely trip it giving you plenty of time to try and cut the heels or run even further.

    A big factor that Kyle forgot to mention is that T-Rex's are both predators and scavengers. They likely sought very large prey, given hint to by the overkill that their bit force would have against smaller animals like ourselves. The articulation of movement a T-Rex posses is so poor that if you managed to get near the rear of their feet there would be nothing that they could do to get to you. If they attempted to deliberately step on you, they would throw off their balance trying to raise their foot 2m off the ground without forward momentum.
    In reality a T-Rex would be easier to hunt than an Elephant due to the fact that it is reliance on its forward motion for stability, since it only has two legs as opposed to four; meaning that as soon as you were behind it, it would be helpless against you (aside from its tails random movements). One hunter in front and one behind with spears would leave the Rex with limited options, face the front person who can easily keep their distance while the rear is stabbed multiple times, turn to face the rear simply reversing the problem, or charge/flee where its maneuverability becomes limited and a fit enough couple of humans could not only keep pace but *easily* outlast the dino in a test of stamina. Hunter class humans would do incredibly well in a matchup against what movies try to tell us would be terrifying, when in reality a cougar is a significantly more dangerous threat than nearly any dinosaur that existed.
    T-Rex weaknesses: Slow speed up and low top speed, limited stability from being bipedal, inability to turn rapidly, inability to access areas smaller than its beak, stride length, forward heavy center of mass. We wouldn't be hunted by the T-Rex, we would be hunting T-Rex and people would be filming TH-cam videos of themselves trying to take these down with knives.

      though I do think that the idea of people taking out T-rex's out with knives is a bit of an exaggeration to say the least, he does have a point. These beasts were never meant to kill smaller nimble creatures, instead they went for other beasts equal, or even larger in size. this means they aren't optimised for fighting humans to say the least. For them, fighting humans would be like what for us is hitting a fly: yeah we could kill them in one hit, but that means you do have to hit them.
      I think a WAAAY more terrifying dinasour for us would be velociraptor, since they're in our weight class and probably have a manouvrability which would be closer to that of us. and still be able to shred us to bids in mere seconds.

      T. rex could run as fast as an Olympic sprinter. And could maintain that speed over great distances. It's very likely that they also hunted juveniles as most predators living or extinct tend to avoid predating on any individual that can conceivably hurt them back. Injury to a predator is a death sentence.

    • @argr4sh
      @argr4sh 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      true, but I do think we're talking about quadripedal juveniles which are still A LOT less manouvrable than humans are. especially in terms of rotating and sidewards movement, which is the type of movement you'd need to not get eaten. (think as in a bull fight).

      Would he really? I mean, a human seems to be almost too small to be considered an "interesting" prey. Most predators don't chase after what they don't consider "worth the hassle", because they need to save their energy as most as they can - they can't afford any waste.
      My dinosaur knowledge is extremely rusty, so I'm honestly curious. Wouldn't it be more logical for the T-Rex to just scare off small animals he's not interested in eating?

    • @CoyoteCamouflage
      @CoyoteCamouflage 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      The distraction should be possible, in the same way that a laser pointer works on felines. A person holding a flare-- particularly in Grant's case, where it is very dark and his physical form is obscured from the predator by heavy rainfall, shouldn't have much issue getting a predator to focus in on a flare-- a distinct oddity that could be something edible. The Rex itself is likely very unused to things like flares, and with the bright red light sparking up in the middle of a storm, it could definitely be more of a focus than the person holding it.

    4:34 actually, the writter scrapped the idea out of the book before publishing it, but he had already talked with Spilberg, and they were writing the book and filming at the same time, and it was much harder to change those scenes from the movie than from the book. In the second book there is actually a guy that dies because he stays still in front of T-rex's nest, the protagonist looking from the security cameras say "he must have read an old paper that claimed T-rex had bad eye sight. It's being long disproven though.", and the T-rex cub jumps out of the nest and eat the guy.

      believe it got released few months prios, but it was still under writing as it was recorded, given the writter talked with Spilberg (his friend) when it was still just an idea. Basically he asked Spilberg what he thought about it, if he should write or if no one would like to see it. Spilberg said that whichever he chose, he would make a movie about it, so the writer started developing the story while talking to Spilberg about what he had already made, both for feedback and to inform on how the movie should go. By the way, the personalities of Hammond and the Lawyear are exchanged in the movies, as well as the girl and the boy who I never remember the names.

      He actually touched that subject on a number of videos, pretty sure there's a video on fire breathing back at nerdist channel and he explained dragons in one of live streams as well as mentioning similar topic in a video about real life cupid, main problem being that they would need absurdly large wings, many times their size, and then they wouldn't be able to have strong enough muscles to use them. Even largest real life birds are very light and massive flying dragons aren't realistic. Pretty sure he did talk about Komodo at some point too though

    I question the wisdom of using a sword against the tendons, I think an axe would be much better suited for this task. Additionally, you'd better be prepared to run once you cut the tendon, you might get hit with part of its body while it falls. Even a swipe of the tail would be like getting hit with a falling tree. I think your best bet, barring modern day weaponry would be either tripwires or a hidden trench with pikes set into the ground like a tiger trap. It would be fairly simple to make one that you could run over, but would collapse under the weight of the Tyrannosaur.

      TheJeffreyJJones if it cuts the skin, doubt it’d matter what you’re using. T-Rex might be big and powerful but it’d sure as hell notice if you ram a sword point into its ankle. The trick is doing it and then getting the eff outta there whilst the monster tramples around in agony...

    • @Peagaporto
      @Peagaporto 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      NotQuiteEnglish realistic it would probably trash around the second it notice something alive in it’s blind spot. Probably stomping and tail swiping before you could even get in a hit.

    • @destinytroll1374
      @destinytroll1374 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      As for as medieval type weaponry is concerned, a sword is maximized for speed and redirection. An ax is best for impact against a hard target like wood or some poor Irishman’s shield. However an ax has a far shorter edged section making the chances of missing the target more likely. A sword, is faster and easier to get in a second strike if you miss, also less likely to miss because it has a much longer sharp edge. And against a soft target like tendons and skin, you would be able to get by with a long slicing action messing up more flesh as you go.
      Of course something to keep you AWAY from the big animal is even better, a good pike formation would be very useful and peppering them with arrows is better still.
      I’d still rather have my 45-70 elephant rifle or Barrett 50 Cal any day lol

    • @Peagaporto
      @Peagaporto 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Keep in mind that big animals are not "soft", there is a guy in sweden who fended off a moose by repeatedly axing him in the face and the moose lived. Bears can take a brutal amount of punishment before expiring, notably knifes through the skull. A leg that can withstand the full t-rex weight, plus whatever scales they have is not going to be a soft target. I would say to leave any notions of meleeing a t-rex at home. Just look at how hard it was for primitive humans hunted mammoths, and those were animals that mainly feared us, a t-rex is going to plow through a pike formation, and that's if you get anyone ballsy enough to maintain the formation against a charging t-rex, considering how much training it took to do that against a simple cavalry charge I find that unlikely.
      Also, while the 45-70 can certainly kill an elephant it's not an "elephant rifle". You can kill an elephant with a lot of standard rounds because it's skull has a big sinus that leads directly to the brain. A t-rex doesn't have that point where the trunk connects to the skull, it's just jaws and hard, dense bone. Also, I'm guessing that due to how they are built, a charging t-rex head would bounce and weave like a boxer during the charge, instead of staying leveled like the elephant. I would say the biggest elephant rifle would not be big enough to reliably taking down these beasts. Trapping him, like we used to do with mammoths, certainly sounds like the most sensible solution so far. And since it has scavenging habits, it would not be very hard to bait it.

    • @laurenceperkins7468
      @laurenceperkins7468 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      On the other hand, that leg is also holding up the full weight of a T-Rex... So a successful hit to the knee joint with even a more standard rifle round level of power could well mess it up enough to cause the beast to trip. Which would be rather bad for it.

  • @giggityguy
    @giggityguy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    It seems strange to say it, but in many ways, I feel like the T. Rex's enormous size is its biggest weakness. When dealing with enormous creatures, it's important to remember the Square-Cube Law, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-cube_law which in essence says that as an object grows larger, its volume will grow faster than its surface area, because surface area grows in a second power exponential relationship but volume grows in a third power exponent. So for ever two units of length you gain, surface area increases by 4 but volume increases by 8.
    This means that creatures get bigger and bigger, their bodies have to become proportionally stronger and have comparatively bigger bones and muscles compared to their bodies. Kyle has pointed this out previously in the episode about upper limits on the size of titans in Attack on Titan th-cam.com/video/Bewq3rXFlHE/w-d-xo.html This is why enormous animals like elephants and sauropods have such thick bones proportional to their bodies, especially in their legs. This is an example of allometric scaling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allometry , where larger animals have to have stouter proportions to increase the cross sectional area of their bones and muscles, compared to the relatively spindly bones that small animals can get away with.
    The tyrannosaurus seems to exist right on the edge of what is biomechanically feasible. Its head is positively enormous, and it had to have its incredibly long tail just to counterbalance it. It's essentially just a giant mouth on legs. This means that a lot of its mass is located away from its center of gravity. Not only that, we can assume from its anatomy and estimated native range that it mainly hunted by chasing down prey on flat plains, so it wouldn't have had to maneuver very quickly.
    All this is to just agree with Kyle's point, that the T. Rex's huge body makes it VERY difficult for it to turn quickly, so trying to escape in an area with lots of obstacles is a good move. In fact it may be even better than Kyle suggested, because I believe that the T. Rex's enormous size would mean that it would have to be incredibly careful in close quarters like this, since perhaps its biggest threat would be itself. Attempting to turn sharply at speed would be a serious danger to its weakest point--its ankles--and colliding with a solid object could be devastating, since some of Tyrannosaurus' bones were hollow to reduce mass, and we're not sure if they had a sternum, so a collision could break several ribs.
    So the densely wooded part of the island where we first encounter the T. Rex might be the worst place for it to try to catch someone, and I think it would want to be careful about pulling some of the maneuvers it tries at 0:51. It's just too heavy to be careless about throwing its weight around.

    • @althedude7730
      @althedude7730 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Except for the fact that it was mostly an ambush predator and lived in grasslands with forests similar to the one mentioned.

    • @giggityguy
      @giggityguy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm by no means an expert, but I don't look at that body style and think ambush predator. It's too tall, too heavy, and not compact enough. I'm sure that it would attack suddenly and is much better suited to short chases, which I suppose you could call an ambush, but I still get the sense that it had to run, and basic physics suggests that it is much better at running in a straight line.
      But regardless, it doesn't really change my point. From everything we can guess based on its fossils, it just seems that its body is too big to maneuver in tight spaces.

    • @althedude7730
      @althedude7730 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      giggityguy Ambush doesn’t mean fast in the case I presented. It means to wait in a place dense or not and suddenly attack/start walking after a target. It could definitely not fit in very tight spaces but since part of its environment are forests I think he could be able to maneuver through them. (Especially the one presented in the video)

    • @althedude7730
      @althedude7730 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      giggityguy they suggest it was an ambush predator that chased out its prey. The chased out part I can explain in detail but the ambush part is basically guess work, we know it hunted and didn’t scavenge much, we know it couldn’t sprint but we don’t know it’s patterning or how still it could stay. I mean elephants are known to be aggressive and suddenly sprint out of the woods without people knowing they even were there so it can be done.

    For the sword option I'd use a greatsword-sized falchion, give it to my strongest guy, and have him do a wrath cut to the tendons to maximize the chance of success. For the mass of the greatsword would give the cut bite, and the edge geometry of the falchion would make it able to slice as effortlessly into flesh as your razor shaves hair. The strength of the wielder would provide lots of force and the wrath cut, focused on one powerful strike, would best focus that force on the fine razor-edge of the blade to devastate the T-Rex. Also, I's have a distraction keeping the T-Rex occupied from the puny human sneaking behind it to sever its tendons.

  • @BlankPicketSign
    @BlankPicketSign 6 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    The biggest problem with fighting a T-Rex as a human is that most humans are in the same size range as most of the animals that T-Rexes hunted for food. We mammals were really, really tiny back then, field mouse sized or less, so that is why mammals were able to avoid getting eaten... But big ol' adult Humans now-a-days at Least 40 kg, most being much more... and that makes us perfectly snack sized for ol' Texie
    It would take everything we have as a human to survive such an encounter, and I think you picked the right weapons for the job!
    Ignoring the firearms your suggested (because that's just not fun from a thought experiment perspective), in this episode you show yourself using a Zweihänder to cut the T-Rex's Achilles Tendon, that is actually a pretty good choice of weapon. Most Zweihänders were only 2 kg (4.4 lb), and while they were really big, you could still run around with them over your shoulder with ease. The massive blade generates a LOT of cutting force when swung properly, and could probably cut through the beast's thick armor-like hide.
    The biggest weakness of the Zweihänder is it's lack of agility, you really only get to swing it in WIDE archs either side to side or sweeping X shaped cuts. The Zweihänder was really not used like a "Sword" at all, tactically speaking. It was closer to a Pole-Arm or Spear, and most Doppelsöldner (The dudes who carried these weapons into battle on the front lines) were put in the same formations with Pikemen and Pole-Arm users.
    BUT Fighting a T-Rex with a Zweihänder sort of negates all of those weaknesses for the sword! The T-Rex is a COLOSSAL target, and the wide motions you use in cutting would be effective! Slice near the face and mouth to try to discourage it from attacking you, and run near the legs to cut the Achilles Tendon. The Zweihänder is literally Designed to dominate a wide area on the battlefield, and using a BIG sword to attack a BIG target would work! Plus against a T-Rex even STABBING it with that long blade could be lethal for the animal, reaching vital organs in the belly and ribcage!
    All in all, good pick!

    • @EstellammaSS
      @EstellammaSS 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Another point tho, the environment. If it's set in modern days the T-rex would barely be able to walk as the oxygen level is way too low, and if you are in Cretaceous your physical strength would be much better too.
      And the best weapon would likely be an axe as I doubt the sword would have enough weight behind it to do the job, reptile skin is tough.

Besides, we are still discovering new species of beaked whales as recent as a few years ago, so there really wouldn't be an impact on the ocean. It could definitely kill some beach goers though.

    It's cool that you posted this video at the same time I happened to be thinking about this very thing... see, I thought it was weird that in Jurassic park 3 the weapons that were brought to the island were ineffective... as the dude who got eaten by the spino early on was carrying a 50BMG rifle of some sort "presumably semi automatic" and a 50BMG round. Even a full metal jacket round "not armor piercing" is capable of passing through inches of steel and still possessing the force to kill a man... and I hate to say this, but the trex "or spino" do not have tungsten skulls or sternums... meaning the 50 caliber round would be able to drop a trex just like a hunting rifle drops a deer, because at the end of the day, humans bent nature to our will, and harness the chemical potential energy to throw metal rocks at several kilometers a second... and dinosaurs just aren't advanced enough to counter that

      Mackeroth yes a T-Rex could bite through that armor with difficulty of course however a highly trained medieval knight wearing 15th century armor and has a medieval war hammer could win if he is very close to the T-Rex reason why is because he could get to the legs and break them yes a Warhammer could do that that's really all the Knight has to do is get to the legs and avoid getting caught by the T-Rex's teeth if he can do that then he could pull off a win

    • @ServantofBaal
      @ServantofBaal 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It would have more trouble than you'd probably think. The greater the mass of an object, the more stress it causes to the body when moving at speed. If it made too quick of movements or too quick of stops, it would lose control of its body and risk a fatal fall. This is why smaller animals can achieve incredible feats of agility; they don't have the mass to cause strain. That's why the most dangerous weapon you can use against a T Rex is a shovel; just dig a hole big enough to topple it and it's fucked. Line the bottom with stakes for superfluous spite
