Greetings from Alberta, Canada. I've been to the Royal Tyrrell Museum (mentioned in the video) several times and would recommend it to visitors to the Southern part of our province. If you would like to walk the valleys of the badlands of Drumheller, I suggest you come in the early spring or late fall unless you enjoy extreme heat. You might even be able to go fossil hunting!
@@Anonymous-hx5vw nope it can definitely see you no matter how still you stand as they have 13 times the better eyesight than humans, and had a visual clarity of up to 6 kilometers or 4 miles, even hawks and eagles can only see less than half that distance.
@@Anonymous-hx5vwthat was a Hollywood myth. In fact, T. Rex may have had THE greatest vision of any non-avian dinosaur ever. With binocular vision and eyes the size of a grapefruit you absolutely had no chance of hiding in plain sight.
@Anonymous-hx5vw i forgot to mention that T Rexes specialize in low frequency sounds to hunt, so even if you stand as still as possible, it can hear your breathing and your heartbeat
Dunno, probably it wouldn't exist since there would be no chickens and dinosaurs seem kinda crazy to be kept as livestock. So who knows. Perhaps they would be a delicacy like ostrich meat. But maybe not as common as chicken. And it would be a great change in the ecosystem, perhaps if they didn't die, we may have.
@@whiteeye3453yes exactly! So T Rex has a speed of an Olympic sprinter but the difference is that the human sprinter cannot catch up for a long distance unlike the T Rex so it doesn’t matter if you are the fastest. This animal will eventually get you.
I’ve always wondered why people assume the Trex is slow just based off it’s size. But, the size of its legs are just insane compared to the other parts of its body. I always assumed they would be extremely agile
According to a study publiShed in "PeerJ" 2017 by W.Sellers and al., the maximum run of T.rex was 19 km/h with the risk of breaking bones beyond that (so similar to African elephants that reach 18 km/h).
Some newer models provide a pretty strong case that full grown T.Rex were probably limited to 12-15mph, based on skeletal strength, which most people could probably sprint at. However if T.Rex which seems built for long distance "running" could keep that speed up for several miles it could run down most people who are not excellent long distance runners.
@@rodrigopinto6676 well I looked over quite a bit of the modern research and it pretty strongly points to top speeds in that 12-15mph. One fairly compelling one looks at skeletal stress and concluded that running gates potentially overload the leg bones and high speed running would shatter the bones. Other studies looking at muscle mass requirements also concluded that running much over 20mph is very unlikely. Now obviously we don't have an actual T.Rex to study so there's a lot of assumptions and simplification in any estimates but given the amount of evidence that points to a speed between 10-20mph I think that's probably close to the mark. This doesn't mean T.Rex didn't hunt, the evidence for hunting is pretty strong. The proportions of T.Rex legs suggest it may have been very good at long distance walking or slow jogging. So I think it's likely that T.Rex would probably run down animals over distance not in a flat out sprint. It's also not likely that the large hadrosaurs or Triceratops were all that fast either and carnivores target young, old or injured animals as a rule.
@@rodrigopinto6676 it was but...let me remind you its prey was also big and slow, it didnt NEED to be as fast as our modern predators in comperison to their prey
Well they say we could out sprint them. Since it seems like a likely top speed of 12-15mph would be doable for T.Rex. However if it could maintain that speed for long periods it would outrun most people who aren't long distance runners.
@@youlaughyouphill842 What are you talking about? T-rex had a cooling system. They used big backpacks rigged with tubes wrapped around their bodies through which they flowed cold water. "Oh, why oh why, then! That, sir is impossible! How did the water kept its cool temperature?" You might say.... Well, the backpack they carried had incorporated solar panels that powered a small battery, connected to it. It was like a small fridge that t-rex backpack. Or so mew studies suggest.
We have not just one but two excellent David Hone dino talks. The clip is from this one - ua-cam.com/video/f-jD7kQvyPs/v-deo.html - but if you'd like more, we also recommend this one - ua-cam.com/video/7kxRaVTVNjk/v-deo.html
@@TheRoyalInstitution Tyrannosaurus rex is bigger than spinosaurus, t.rex is much more massive and robust animal like a tank!!! compared to spinosaurus had a narrow flattened and slender body with very short legs.
Cheetahs are also just a bunch of sprinters too, so the cheetah will also eventually end up in the T rex stomach as another light snack. since T Rexes are long distance runners
earlier in the lecture he says that a t-rex can easly swallow a human in one bite. i dont' think that if a t-rex had the possibility of eating 2 or 3 of us would stop at the first one.
Eyesight: a couple of Times better then a Hawk. Brain: the size of a gorilla's. Biteforce: limmitless... Nose: the best availeble. Long distace runner, agile... check...most deadly animal...check
We’re the most deadly animal the planet ever seen. Evolutionary speaking the trex had superior physical build but we evolved differently, the brain so we are able to build/create/communicate. Don’t care how strong a T. rex bite force is, a 50cal will drop it dead
The opinions (albeit educated opinions) about Rex's Speed seem to be at wildly different ends of the spectrum. I see many sources stating that, not only could you outrun a T Rex, but you could *out-walk* it. Why such a variation in the consensus? Personally, I have a hard time believing that a carnivore with the speed and agility of a turtle could survive and thrive, let alone be an Apex predator in its environment, so what's the deal?
Well , it would be one scavenger . But I'm also confused about it . John Hutchinson studied a lot about it , and concluded he was slow , but he was " missed " in science , idk why . In 2020 people concluded T.rex was a slow walker , but the studie still being made . In 2017 was concluded he could not have runned , but actually idk why people missed / ignored it . Its confusing
Not really. T. Rex was an ambush predator that relied on an initial burst. It couldn’t sprint and it probably couldn’t run very well. It could maintain a pretty good walking speed for an extended period of time.
I’m beginning to think of T Rex in the manner of modern grizzly bears. Chonky, but faster than you would think from their size and capable running long distances.
Not really. Not for adults certainly. A fully grown T. Rex would not be able to run down a reasonably healthy human. He’d get one good lunge, probably from ambush, and that would be it. This is not an agile animal and although it could maintain a steady walking pace for a long time it probably couldn’t manage more than a 10-15 mph burst of speed. Younger Rexes probably were much better runners.
Most likely none of those would work. Zigzagging probably wouldn’t be too hard for it to deal with, but that’s at the cost of your own speed, and you’d exhaust yourself pretty quickly while not getting too far away. Tyrannosaurus rex was an opportunistic scavenger also, so if you played dead then it’d still gladly eat you. They also had an incredible sense of smell, so hiding probably wouldn’t do you much good either, in a bush or water. Any way you slice it, a T. rex would be able to catch you if it was hellbent on it.
It is a question to its insticts rather than capabilities. Eg, humans would be happy to let something slithering get away out of fear of being bitten and poisoned. It is not a rational reaction, but an instintive one. We are also instinctively fearful of the dark, perhaps due to the existence of nocturnal carnivores. Likewise bats terrify us instinctively. Many animals are afraid of fire, some are afraid of water, etc, at an instinctive level. What instincts would a tyranosaurus have that might be easy to trigger and also be helpful as an escape strategy? Not sure if behaviour is something that can be studied from found remains, although some behaviour is clearly partially inferred from the same. Even a top-of-the-food-chain animal has self preservation instincts.
People who keep overestimating T. rex’s weight and underestimating its speed forget that it had hollow bones and air sacs and that similarly large animals like elephants can go 25 mph, and that the tails in dinosaurs acted like shock absorbers and allowed them to go faster without hurting themselves.
The heaviest elephants still weight less then the low end for current Trex weight estimates. Also, Elephants are Quadrapedal so they don't have as much stress on their legs as a biped of similarly large size would have. I have no idea where you got the idea that dinosaur tails act as shock absorbers but just intuitively, to act as a shock absorber it would have to be bearing weight in order to take stress off the legs, and I don't think dinosaurs walked on their tails. Dino tails in bipeds primarily served as counterweights to move their center of mass over the hips so they could stand
the hollow bones were just one of the factors that allowed dinosaurs to increase size...even with hollow bones trex was 9 tons animal, heavier than an elephant
@@firegator6853 actually its now a 10 METRIC ton animal now according to the most recent studies of this dinosaur. you can very clearly tell, because there is proportion comparison of just the skeletons of Carcharodontosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Allosaurus, Spinosaurus, Giganotosaurus and T Rex, T Rex had an absolute thick and heavily built body, legs and head, and that is just the skeleton of the T Rex, most of T Rexes weight came from heavy and powerful muscles. this animal is all about quality muscles, quality eyesight, quality senses, quality energy efficient long distance running and walking, quality level of bite force, everything about quality.
@@AndrewLewer90 We would still be discovering the answer for ourselves only, instead of hearing it from David Hone, we hear it from James in the youtube comments.
Usain Bolt is a sprinter T Rex is a long distance runner, you will not last long at all if you srpint, if sprinting is the only way of outrunning a T Rex, Usain Bolt is a T Rex snack.
You COULD avoid a T-Rex getting you though! An adult T-Rex cannot turn nearly as quickly as a sprinting human. The masses are in the wrong place. They could pivot very quickly when standing still but not when in motion, due to the considerable momentum, and the fact it's hanging way out the front, and way out the back. This means that provided you can always see the thing, you can stay away from it by weaving and dodging. The T-Rex was quite smart, and had amazing visions and smell - but for an adult T-Rex, a human wouldn't be worth chasing: we're just too nimble, and too bloody smart. Forget trying to survive an attack by juvenile T-rex though - you are 100% wrecked!
And if you thought you could run away from the T Rex by standing still, because you thought its vision is based on movement because of Jurassic Park. WRONG, the T Rex can see you just fine whether you are moving or not, not only that, but it can also see 13 times better than us humans, and 4-5 times better than Hawks and Eagles, not only that it can see an object very clearly from up to 6 kilometers or 4 miles away, Hawks and Eagles can only see less than a half of what how far T Rex could see. T Rex has the strongest eyesight of all the animals that has ever existed on this planet, whether alive, extinct, terrestrial, semi-aquatic, or marine animals. Even better than its eyesight is its sense of smell, it can pick up the scent of its prey from up to several miles away, it can smell as good or even better than how good a vulture could, its hearing is also extremely good, it can detect even some of the lowest frequency of sound from miles away. so even if you stand still or temporarily blinded a T Rex with a little smoke screen it'll still know you are there or nearby by smelling and hearing you. one more thing is their intelligence, it turns out the T Rex is actually some the smartest animals ever existed, it has the largest brain of all the large theropod dinosaurs, and its intelligence is enough to actually rival the intelligence of chimpanzees, it can tell the difference between a living thing and an inanimate object, and it doesn't always hunt solitarily, for more than 30% of the time it will hunt in a group, whether is a family gathering or a migration group. And from time to time it encounters the largest dinosaur of North America, the giant 80-ton Alamosaurus, and T Rex occasionally hunted juvenile or subadult variants of this titanosaur.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: noooooooooooooo
I could, with milk and alcohol.
Monster Hunter Players: F*ck, gonna faint here.
I don't need to be faster than a T-Rex. I just need to be faster than the guy who is with me.

WRONG, the T Rex can see you just fine whether you are moving or not, not only that, but it can also see 13 times better than us humans, and 4-5 times better than Hawks and Eagles, not only that it can see an object very clearly from up to 6 kilometers or 4 miles away, Hawks and Eagles can only see less than a half of what how far T Rex could see. T Rex has the strongest eyesight of all the animals that has ever existed on this planet, whether alive, extinct, terrestrial, semi-aquatic, or marine animals. Even better than its eyesight is its sense of smell, it can pick up the scent of its prey from up to several miles away, it can smell as good or even better than how good a vulture could, its hearing is also extremely good, it can detect even some of the lowest frequency of sound from miles away. so even if you stand still or temporarily blinded a T Rex with a little smoke screen it'll still know you are there or nearby by smelling and hearing you. one more thing is their intelligence, it turns out the T Rex is actually some the smartest animals ever existed, it has the largest brain of all the large theropod dinosaurs, and its intelligence is enough to actually rival the intelligence of chimpanzees, it can tell the difference between a living thing and an inanimate object, and it doesn't always hunt solitarily, for more than 30% of the time it will hunt in a group, whether is a family gathering or a migration group. And from time to time it encounters the largest dinosaur of North America, the giant 80-ton Alamosaurus, and T Rex occasionally hunted juvenile or subadult variants of this titanosaur.
i'm quite sure i can outrun a t-rex. that's beacause they're dead.
