Who wins the fight? Surely it depends on if its on land or sea? 😂😂😂

It's certainly interesting to see the aquatic equivalent of Tyrannosaurus Rex, which I suppose this must be. Always a delight to see Sir David and his distinguished paleontologist colleagues discussing these things. ⭐⭐👍

It is true. The only fight a Pliosaur and a T-Rex (rather perhaps an era-equivalent to T-Rex since T-Rex came long after these monsters) is happening in the water and that is not a fair fight. And given a chance, a giant pliosaur’s jaws put those of T-Rex to shame.

I really hope that an apology is issued soon by the BBC to Philip, whose name they completely airbrushed from the documentary. They used his footage, but it was not made clear who found the original piece of snout. Absolutely terrible!

@krazybubbler 6 ай бұрын

Absolutely! They've done a re-edit where they did add Philip as owner of his original footage, but it's beyond my comprehension BBC just airbrushed Philip in first instance.

I get why the question is asked because people genuinely would ask this or at least think it. However, the scenario is flawed since there is no way that this is a fair fight since one lived on land and the other in the seas… where the battle were to happen would be the deciding factor of victory. So this question doesn’t really serve any scientific or useful purpose… David Attenborough is great tho.

Even more so: There would never have been a fight between Pliosaurus and T. Rex, as they never met. When the first Tyrannosaurs appeared on earth, the Pliosaurus had been extinct for over 75 million years. They are further apart in time than the dinosaurs and us.

Correct me if I'm wrong though; T Rex was in his prime near the end of the Cretaceous, right, so--didn't this pliosaur exist tens of millions of years before T Rex? Were there equally formidable pliosaurs in T Rex''s time?

@aengor 5 ай бұрын

Pliosaurs were extinct at the time of T-rex. There were however mosasaurs, equally big.

The name of the Mesozoic sea reptile that they are talking about.

@WaterShowsProd 6 ай бұрын

In the Mesozoic seas there were pliosaurs, mosasaurs, ichthysosaurs, and plesiosaurs. Pliosaurs are probably the least represented in the public consciousness, but with this discovery that may change.

Of course it’s going to win because the T-Rex would have to be in the water and out of its element smh. Now if that was on land the T-Rex would destroy it! 🦖

I thought the T rex 🦖 was a scavenger, and there were predators which were bigger, and more fierce than the Tyrannosaurus rex?🦖

@rodrigopinto6676 6 ай бұрын

“Scavenger”😂😂😂😂😂😂

@hopebgood 6 ай бұрын

I've heard recent theories about it being a scavenger too.

@bonniemob65 6 ай бұрын

The scavenger hypothesis has been proven false, since we've found Tyrannosaurus bite marks in the bones herbivorous dinosaurs, like Triceratops and Edmontosaurus that had healed over - there was even a Triceratops with one of its horn bitten in two, and that had still healed over. This shows that Tyrannosaurus was actively hunting live prey as big as itself (and even attacking it head on). And while many carnivorous dinosaurs were longer (e.g. Spinosaurus) or taller (e.g. Giganotosaurus), Tyrannosaurus is the heaviest: average weight estimates range from 8 to 10 metric tonnes, but some exceptionally large specimens might've been bigger than 12 tonnes (e.g. "E.D.Cope/Cope rex"). Since the size of an animal is determined by its mass, that makes Tyrannosaurus the largest carnivorous dinosaur, as well as the largest terrestrial predator. Hope this helps.

@WaterShowsProd 6 ай бұрын

It was Jack Horner who proposed that idea, which was disproved by the evidence bonniemob65 has pointed out. Just like a lion, however, a tyrannosaur of any variety wouldn't pass up scavenging as it is essentially a free meal and wouldn't have much trouble chasing away competition over a carcass. There is evidence that they even ate their own dead.
