If 58 million Tyrannosaurus rex suddenly appeared on the earth, what disaster would mankind encounter?

In the movie Jurassic World 2, humanity faces a moral dilemma: When resurrected dinosaurs are threatened by a volcanic eruption, should we save them or let them go extinct again?

If you choose the latter, the situation will naturally be no different from what it is now, and if dinosaurs are allowed to survive, they may enter human society.

Of course, this is just a plot in a sci-fi movie. In the real world, scientists have not discovered the complete dinosaur gene, so they cannot resurrect dinosaurs, let alone consider the future.

However, as the overlord who ruled the earth in ancient times, the attraction of dinosaurs is too strong, we might as well imagine the situation of dinosaurs still alive.

For example, if 58 million Tyrannosaurs suddenly appeared on Earth, how would humans respond? Is it easy subduing or passive resistance?

prehistoric beast tyrannosaurus rex

Tyrannosaurus rex, or Tyrannosaurus rex, is one of the most ferocious carnivores on earth, living at the end of the Cretaceous period 67 million to 65 million years ago.

Thanks to improvements in technologies such as biomechanical modeling and X-ray imaging, our understanding of this prehistoric apex predator is growing.

According to the fossils that have been found, it is speculated that the body length of Tyrannosaurus Rex can reach more than 12 meters and the height is about 6 meters, which is larger than the bus on the road.

The only thing inferior to the bus may be the weight of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but the weight of 8 tons still crushes all existing land animals.

As carnivorous dinosaurs, they survived by preying on other animals, but sometimes they may also eat animal carcasses or even kill their own kind.

The head of Tyrannosaurus rex is a real nightmare for the prey, the hard skull allows it to concentrate all the force in the mouth, so their bite force is extremely high, a full 6 tons.

What is the concept of bite force of 6 tons? If a person is bitten by a Tyrannosaurus rex, it is more stressed than an African elephant standing on it!

More than 60 serrated teeth up to 20 cm long are matched with a powerful bite force that can easily pierce prey and throw it into the air to swallow it.

Similar to humans, Tyrannosaurus rex's eyes were facing forward, which meant that their fields of view overlapped, which gave them better depth perception.

Scientists estimate that Tyrannosaurus rex had 13 times the clarity of vision than humans, and they could clearly see objects up to 6 kilometers away, compared to just 1.6 kilometers for us.

In addition to vision, their sense of smell is also quite developed. Studies have shown that Tyrannosaurus rex has almost as many genes encoding olfactory receptors as domestic cats.

How do humans deal with

Despite its unrivaled advantages, Tyrannosaurus rex "was born out of time" and eventually disappeared in the dinosaur mass extinction 65 million years ago.

If there are 58 million such huge beasts on the earth again, will they still be able to kill and sweep the earth? The former is possible, the latter is unrealistic.

Why are they able to kill? Because as far as animals in nature are concerned today, no animal is a match for Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The largest terrestrial animal in existence is the African Elephant, whose huge size can dwarf all predators, and no animal wants to be trampled to death by them.

Similarly, no one dared to provoke the larger Tyrannosaurus Rex, and they were still carnivores. At this time, Tyrannosaurus Rex should take the initiative to find prey.

The speed of Tyrannosaurus Rex is not fast, only 13 kilometers per hour. In the early days, they mainly preyed on large herbivorous dinosaurs. In the present case, elephants are likely to suffer.

Even a male African elephant with long tusks can hardly escape the fate of being bitten by a Tyrannosaurus rex, and the Tyrannosaurus rex with excellent eyesight will not give the elephant a chance to sneak attack.

The appearance of a large number of Tyrannosaurus rex is bound to disrupt the original ecological environment, and when they enter human society, they also have a huge danger.

A human slaughterhouse might have been a T. rex's primary target, but it's hard to argue that it would have walked past a group of unarmed people without looking at it.

How do we deal with these behemoths? First of all, as long as we run fast enough, the Tyrannosaurus rex is likely to be unable to catch up with us.

However, when we take up arms, the situation is different. Beneath the fierce appearance of the Tyrannosaurus rex has an Achilles' heel, and that is the hollow skeleton.

That means their bones are far weaker than today's larger animals, and can be pierced with a single shot, as would a heavy truck ramming it.

Aiming at its eyes with a sniper rifle is also a good option, if a more powerful weapon is used, it will be easier to subdue the T-Rex.

In the above assumptions, the 58 million Tyrannosaurus rex were randomly scattered on the surface of the earth. In this case, they would only stray into human territory instead of attacking in groups.

Therefore, it is feasible for people everywhere to concentrate on subduing a small number of Tyrannosaurus rex, rather than rushing away under the pursuit of a large group of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The ancient earth overlords cannot defeat the current earth overlords. When Tyrannosaurus Rex really appears on the present earth, its rarity will be more attractive than its ferocity.

What would happen in that case? It is very likely that in just a few years, the Tyrannosaurus Rex became endangered and became a protected animal, living in a nature reserve.

But while Jurassic Park has given us relevant demonstrations, taking on their food isn't an easy task.

With enough space, food, and proper management, humans could coexist peacefully with T. rex.
