      I actually might have a fossil from one of these mega size rexes. I recently acquired a very large T-rex premax tooth. Now the premax is the equivalent of our incisors and are usually much smaller than the large teeth on the side. Most premaxes will have a slant length of less than two inches, usually about 1.5 - 1.6 inches. This one is almost 3.

The problem with this study is that it's just gonna hype up all those Spino, Carcha and Giga fanboys to claim the non-existent super-sized version of their favorite theropod despite the lack of evidence.

      it is not... First of all those specimens are extremely rare, and sometimes they are oversized due to diseases or genetic anormalities.
      Plus, most of those don't survive in the wild, specially carnivores who hunt, you don't see in the wild lions doubling their natural size for instance. I don't believe that a 70% bigger T-Rex, would last in the wild, not just because of the bigger quantity of food requirements and because the normal sized T-Rex already had problems with its motion, they were probably walkers and not runners and their big size already imposed a big challenge to their 2 legs.
      If T-Rex were alive today, actually the majority of them would be smaller than Sue or Scotty, since they only reached that big size at 20 years old, wich is more than 2/3 of their lives, and some of them would not even reach that age.

Then what you are talking about the animals zoo life span is non-sense, actually the life span of animals in the wild is similar to the ones in the zoo.

It could belong to a hydrasaur that would also make it a bet oversized for what their was around at the time.
      Since they have only found a hand full of T-Rex's and the chance of them finding the biggest that ever lived is next to zero so there is bigger out there. Almost every species on earth has oversize when it comes to big animals that get a little off the size chart.

Does the math and material science work? The question is not the mechanical feasibility, it's whether they DID reach that size. So far there is no evidence they did, merely the supposition that based on what remains we do have what would a top of the bell curve specimen look like, or one with gigantism. And that is pure speculation.

    I mean, as one that follows news about Trex and wants to study them thoroughly in the Geoscience/Paleontological field, it could be possible that Trex could’ve been much bigger than what we once thought of such as Sue or Scotty for that matter. I mean, not to mention with more recent discoveries such as the Titanosaurids like Alamosaurus that could’ve lived at both the same time and place as our beloved Tyrant Lizard King, even with pack standards that’s a lot of sauropod to take down even at Alamosaurus being at a juvenile stage in life. Thus the theory that Trex (which I believe did hunt in packs due to theories off of fossil evidence) could’ve been bigger than we once thought? Not impossible 🤷‍♂️🦖 it was indeed the super predator of its time and ecosystem so anything is of course possible.

    It’s definitely feelisible that there were rexes far larger than scotty and sue, I don’t doubt there might have been old rexes that reached maybe 10 or 11 tons (keeping in mind that it wouldn’t be as drastic a physical SIZE change as displayed in your diagrams in the video, the hypothetical old rexes were likely extremely bulky much like abnormally large bears)
    I seriously doubt any Rex got to 20+ meters / 15+ tons in weight, an animal that size would HAVE to be quadrupedal, so, definitely not Rex

      Thats a myth.
      With the increase in weight, there will be an increase in bulk, and hence the centre of gravity would be shifted by the body, where the creature can be perfectly balanced.
      Edmontosaurus and Shantungosaurus (15 tons, 20 tons) are perfectly capable of walking bipedal.
      T rex can do it aswell.

      Dogs are so diverse in appearances because they have been selectively bred by humans, a chihuahua or pug in the wild would be far less adept than a German shepherd at surviving, and less likely to pass on its genes so eventually a more generalized, efficient shape would become the most common appearance for domesticated dogs. Same with wild animals, extreme mutations like that would be very rare, put extra burdens on survival, or eventually just get bred out of the species.

Therefore, individuals of a dinosaur species that existed for millions of years easily could have been widely diverse in size and shape while still technically being the same species, even without selective breeding by an outside actor.
