this video is brought to you by Jurassic
world she could crush you in her jaws
but could she catch you first
we asked Jurassic world’s official
paleontologist Brian sweet hack the
Internet’s most popular t-rex questions
with t-rex meat bulletproof we guess
after seeing t-rex destroy everything in
its path people want to know how they
might defend themselves if their Jeep
ever breaks down in the Cretaceous Bryan
too has thought about this in addition
to a thin coat of Dino fluff the body of
t-rex was covered in hard little scales
other dinosaurs like some of the spiky
ankylosaurus had thick coats of bony
armor that would have provided more
resistance but t-rex didn’t have the
same equivalent of a bulletproof vest
what we do know is that t-rex was a very
muscular dinosaur from its jaws to its
tail muscle scars on their bones show
they were pretty beefy predators so
whatever weaponry you chose would not
only have to get through a thick scaly
hide but thick muscle – but was t-rex
bulletproof well it would be tough to
bring it down with handguns a
high-powered rifle would be a different
story
why did t-rex have small arms let’s
what’s up with this giants teeny tiny
arms there have certainly been plenty of
ideas one of them was that t-rex use
them to tickle mates in courtship or
that they use them to odd prey close to
but according to Brian the real reason
is all about balance as we see every
time Jurassic parts t-rex chomps down
t-rex not only had a huge head but it
was packed with muscle to give it a
devastating bite force able to slice
muscle and crush bone t-rex also stood
on two legs meaning its body had to
maintain balance
since t-rex was all about the mouth then
this dinosaur was better off skipping
arm day if the tyrant lizard balked up
its guns
it had topple over what made t-rex so
dangerous this one seems pretty obvious
but Brian made it scary obvious from
biomechanical studies we know that t-rex
could bite with a force of over twelve
thousand eight hundred pounds more than
enough to shatter bone old teeth were
continually replaced meaning it always
had a fresh set oh it’s neck muscles
were strong enough to toss a 100 pound
chunk of food about 15 feet in the air
and catch it and that’s not all t-rex
was rare among dinosaurs and having eyes
that both faced forward this gave it
binocular vision or the ability to see
in three dimensions if it didn’t sniff
you out with its impressive nose it
definitely see you mind you being the
deadliest predator doesn’t mean that
t-rex was the most dangerous Dino in the
park today large herbivores like bison
hippos and elephants are often among the
most dangerous animals in their
environments so maybe the horns or
spiked tail of a dinosaur veggie soros
would give it that title we may not know
until we could wander up to a
Brachiosaurus and see what happens the
t-rex hunting tax a t-rex team is great
a nightmare fuel say it ain’t so
well Brian reassures us that
Tyrannosaurus didn’t always get along
some fossils like a teenage t-rex named
Jane show bite marks made by other
tyrannosaurs this was a dinosaur that it
didn’t always play nice however there
are also a few terrifying clues that
they sometimes grouped together dinosaur
tracks are moments frozen in time or in
other words dinosaur behavior preserved
as fossils
a set of Tyrannosaur trackways found in
canada seems to indicate that these
predatory dinosaurs might have formed
social groups at least some of the time
was the group that left the tracks
family a hunting party just down for a
dinosaur hangout will need to find more
tracks
find out how to survive a t-rex attack
glad we’re not the only ones that this
question keeps up at night
Brian admits that getting away from
t-rex would be a tricky task running
away wouldn’t be wise the average
running speed for a human is about 8
miles per hour t-rex could run at speeds
of about 20 miles per hour or more so if
you don’t have a jeep handy what do you
do well we pump the t-rex to 32 miles an
hour it might be possible to evade t-rex
by being quiet the dinosaurs ears were
tuned to low frequency sounds below the
range of the human speaking voice or you
could turn the dinosaurs skill against
it by distracting it with some powerful
smelling decoy maybe pepper spray just
whatever you do don’t run we’re not sure
if Brian’s answers reassured us or just
made us more terrifying
how would you escape t-rex tell us what
you think in the comments are you a fan
of the Jurassic franchise you can get
the entire collection from Universal
home entertainment on blu-ray DVD and
digital and be sure to check out these other jurassic videos
