Similarly sized mammals can destroy virtually any reptile. Any serious high prey drive dog will ruin any monitor, a dog that knows how to kill and has experience hunting reptiles will kill any monitor in less than a few minutes ive seen it done many times it is a very easy kill for the dog. And this is just domestic dogs we are talking about. Small tiny ratels can kill huge 15 foot rock pythons too.
>Any serious high prey drive dog will ruin any monitor
You know nothing about monitors if you actually think this lmao. They're probably some of the most vicious vertebrates on Earth pound for pound. Powerful jaws filled with curved teeth, long hooked claws, powerful tails that they love to use as whips, thick scaly hides, some are even venomous. A monitor of equal size would rip any dog to shreds. WEBM related isn't even a monitor btw, it's a Tegu which are essentially monitors but much less dangerous. >a dog that knows how to kill and has experience hunting reptiles will kill any monitor in less than a few minute
Yes, a dog that's trained to kill a certain type of prey can kill that prey. What you're saying is like if I said that a domestic dog would easily kill a wolf and cited borzois as proof. >ive seen it done many times
Sure you have. >Small tiny ratels can kill huge 15 foot rock pythons too
Pythons commonly hunt and kill honey badgers. Hell, they even eat adult hyenas.
>Tips it over no problem >Chomp
Dinos probably had mouths akin to Komodos today, full of bacteria, so one good gash from the teeth would eventually end the bear, even if it somehow overpowered a rex.
If only the rex had some kind of equalizer for the tiny arms to still make it a formidable animal.
Like...a huge skull armed with deadly teeth and the most powerful jaws known from any land carnivore...or something. Purely hypothetical here of course...
Yes. One nearly double the size of the largest living rhinos
with an extra pair of elephant tusks, but of at least twice the maximum size, above its brows,
a parrot-like hooked beak the size of a man's head and batteries of potentially bone grinding teeth, both attached to the strongest herbivore bite of all time,
and a dinner table sized ivory shield protecting its neck, yes. (still T. rex is proven to be able to bite a grown Tric's head in half).
When T.rex was considered a Carnosaur its length was adjusted for that clade whose members have more caudal vertebrae than Ceolurosaurs.
12m is oversized for Allosaurus. But seems accurate for Saurophaganax or Epanterias which are inexplicably giant Allosaurs that lived seemingly alongside normal Allosaurs.
>inexplicably giant Allosaurs that lived seemingly alongside normal Allosaurs.
There's nothing strange about that though. Look at how wolves live alongside coyotes and lions and tigers live alongside leopards. Or how monitor lizards of all sizes live alongside each other in Australia and tropical Asia.
Not comparable niches though, back then there were at least 2 food pyramid levels above what we today consider "apex predators" plus there was already an oversaturation of giant carnivore taxa in the Morrison Formation. With now knowing that Ceratosaurus "dentisulcatus" could surpass young adult Allosauri in volume, from Ornitholestes to Torvosaurus there are not any empty niches left for Allosaurus to thrive at any ontogenic stage as much as it did, especially if you consider the potential of competition for the various totally just undiscovered growth stages of the nearly identical Saurophaganax.

Was it ever proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Saurophaganx is *not* just a fully grown Allosaurus? Are the animals really that different? I don't claim to have any insider knowledge of the newest finds, I just know that I've read (on here, actually) that no fully grown Allosaurus has ever been found, meanwhile we also have a larger but very similar animal of which we have no juveniles. I'm just saying, it raisies an eyebrow.
As for why Allosaurus was so successful, maybe it comes down to something about its lifestyle or social behavior, things that don't fossilize. Or maybe just by virtue of being a very common, jack-of-all-trades predator it was able to remain a force in its ecosystem by virtue of sheer numbers.

it was probably the fact it was a general feeder which is good when youre a mid sized predator, it can scavenge, it uses it claws to hold down smaller prey, and a powerful neck for larger one, along with the fact its an extremely durable species, for whatever reason they keep finding specimens that have all sorts of fucked up problems that have healed

^This.
Bears are undefeatable when it comes to land animals. Literally the heavyweight champ, they have the perfect mix of smarts, speed, strength, and agility that lets them win even if another animal might have one aspect superior, the bear has the better mix. Dinos are a LARP anyways, they're not scary land dragons they're oversized chickens who are literal retards if you've ever had chickens.
Chickens are also fast a vicious. Chickens can easily body animals that are their weight or less. There's a reason why weasels attack at night and not the day.
Young black bear males are adorably cowardly. I felt bad chasing one off my deck because he hung off the edge and gave me the saddest face as I charged him. Looked like a hungry teddy bear. But fuck that.
Dunno being more than a dozen times the weight of the bear has something to do with it? (T. rex' hollow bones included, it's more like 20 times the bears size in sheer volume)
>Bearbros, we wo-ACK
Uh oh bearbros, we got too cocky…

Coping mammalfag detected. Probably a furry too.
Paleontologists are retards who can't measure, it is well known.
Almost like they mostly have guesswork to go off of, civilian.
The average croc monitor weighs about as much as a Jack Russell and would make mince meat out of one
bottom image is pretty erotic ngl

By that logic a bear could kill an elephant since an elephant weighs the same as a t rex but we all know that’s never happened
Elephants have tusks and a trunk to defend themselves, the T.Rex’s tiny arms are useless to reach the bear and defend its weak underside and throat.
If only the rex had some kind of equalizer for the tiny arms to still make it a formidable animal.

What mobility level was T-Rex neck
Enough to fight triceratops, aka dinosaur elephant.
Wouldn't it be more comparable to a rhino?
Trikes are larger than you imagine.
Triceratops is bigger than an elephant
Yes. One nearly double the size of the largest living rhinos

Sue could probably lick her own cloaca.
Dont make me imagine that…
that would be ridiculous, just give it some badass cyborg blade gun arms
We should give it lasers
Hardly an accurate representation:
Male Adult Grizly when standing on their hindlegs could be 2,4 meters, 1,5 M when standing on all four. Average Trex Height is 5-6 meters.
Uhhh bearbros?
What the fuck is this?
I remembered T-rex to be 15 meter. I take it my childhood books were wrong? 12 meter is registered in my brain as allosaurus length.
When T.rex was considered a Carnosaur its length was adjusted for that clade whose members have more caudal vertebrae than Ceolurosaurs.
12m is oversized for Allosaurus. But seems accurate for Saurophaganax or Epanterias which are inexplicably giant Allosaurs that lived seemingly alongside normal Allosaurs.

T-rexes were slower than the average human, as well.
Could easily hunt down the average human despite that

T-Rex was a scavenger anyway.
Why don't you scavange some bitches
>T-Rex
Opinion discarded
And so are grizzlies then retard.

Put me in the screencap
god tier drawanon
My screen has now been sprayed with beer fuck you.
Nice OC bretty good
That fucking face on the bear, stellar work anon
Oh wow. It's so much better than the original.
Best OC I've seen in years. Might have to steal a crop for steam if that's cool. If not, fuck you.
Beautiful
Reads almost like Aesop. Great work
Awesome that you drew this to shit on that book quote lol.
Glorious
