How Scientifically Accurate Is The Jurassic Park T.Rex?

[@EmperorSarco]

That "to a canary, a cat is a monster" line from Jurassic World gives the T rex escape scene from Jurassic Park more meaning. She wasn't really attacking the car. She was curious and was playing with it. But to our species, it was a monster in that scene. Kind of like how a cat may sometimes play with canaries and small animals, and that animal is more or less scared of it's life. We're just used to bieng the cat.

[@TheYagomestre]

I have an American Staffordshire Terrier, which is a bulky beast but still a animal. And yeah, not only his behaviour reminds me that Rex (shaking the head while playing and biting some toy, the way the tail moves when something grabs it's attention, and also the way it uses the neck muscles and the jaw to grab and pull or push things...), but it's also a really adorable creature. If you could pet a Rex, it probably would feel something like that lol

A few things in there didnt come across right. Speed for example. T.Rex was not a runner nor an ambush predator (which needs explosive movement to work).

@@sasquatch668able That is old news from 2017. If and only if the new study is accurate T.Rex can NOT run or it breaks its fucking leg bones from the stress.

Klayton really just uploaded a podcast but put the quality behind his normal videos into the visuals and thought we wouldn't notice. Sneaky sneaky. Jokes aside, this was an incredible conversation. Thanks for sharing it with us! Lots of stuff to learn from here.

[@WhyTho525]

A massive T-rex fanatic here! My favourite T-rex design are definitley the ones from TLW. They are so unique and definitley how I imagine T-rex sexual dimorphism to look like. Genetic mutations of InGen Tyrannosaurus Rex explained somewhat: Fast running - Frog DNA might've resulted in the InGen Tyrannosaurs' leg muscles becoming stronger and as we know, frogs have strong leg muscles which give tnem the abilities to jump high. Thus makes the Tyrannosaurs become faster and agile. Vision based movement - Frog DNA. Frogs can only see what is moving. However this mutation is only present in Rexy/Roberta, while the Isla Sorna Tyrannosaurs have similar vision like their prehistoric ancestors. In the Novel Canon, this is explained that only the 4.1 Version Tyrannosaurs had this, while the Isla Sorna Tyrannosaurs didn't. Extended lifespan - Possibly saltwater crocodile (their max lifespan is 70 years). Now we did get an explaination why Rexy/Roberta will not die at the age of 30 which was the max lifespan of the prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex, but I actually think that InGen intentionally extended the lifespans of their clones to spare money. Sex changing ability - African Reed Frog DNA - I don't think I have to explain this one Roar and pronated wrists - InGen and John Hammond probably based their Dinosaur clones on how tbe public and Paleontologists viewed them back in the day and roaring T-rex and Dinosaurs with pronated wrists was the popular depitcion back then (and it's still is in the public eye). Shrink wrapping - Possibly a series of genetic mutations caused by various gene-manipulation made by InGen Reptilian appearance - Saltwater Crocodile DNA - This would also explain some of the crocodilian sounds they make. Also the fact that the 4.1 Versions in the original Novel were able to swim kinda confirms this. Forked tongue - Novel Canon only - This only applied to the 4.1 Version T-rexes on Isla Nublar. This is possibly due to them having a Monitor Lizard DNA. So my best guess for the genetic codes for the InGen Tyrannosaurs in both Canons: Novel Canon: Tyrannosaurus Rex Ingens Nublarensis (fanmade name) - 4.1 Versions from the original Novel = Tyrannosaurus Rex + Saltwater Crocodile + Monitor Lizard + African Reed Frog Tyrannosaurus Rex Ingens Sornaensis (also fanmade name) - TLW Novel version = Tyrannosaurus Rex + Saltwater Crocodile + African Reed Frog Movie Canon: Tyrannosaurus Rex Maximus Hammondi (fanmade name, created by DeviantArt artist: Taliesaurus) = Tyrannosaurus Rex + African Reed Frog + Saltwater Crocodile + Possibly very few Daspletosaurus Torosus? (due to the arms being longer at these Tyrannosaurs and Daspletosaurus had longer arms) If I left out some of the mentioned genetic mutations of the InGen Tyrannosaurs, let me know! Edit: Most of the the fanmade names are from the DeviantArt artist Taliesaurus. The guy makes fantastic artwork!

The breaking out of the enclosure is one of the greatest movie moments I've ever had. I don't give a crap how accurate that dino is, great vid though.

[@CoryBaker92]

Really loved this video! Really hope you keep doing this with the other Jurassic dinosaurs. What the movies got right.

[@kitsunefirefox1986]

Props to Michael Crichton for providing a plausible reason in universe for the scientific inaccuracies, it's almost as if he knew it would be needed in the future.

[@elvmat1164]

Great video! Thanks! I agree with your guest-I always felt Rexy was just exploring Grant and the girl, very much playing with them! Also, she may not have liked the taste of the lawyer, lol!

[@symphonyofshred]

Thanks for the excellent video Klayton! Tyrannosaurus rex has always been my favorite and I loved the comparison between Rexy and an actually T.Rex. I’m also glad that the paleontologist was able to clarify some misconceptions about Tyrannosaurus rex that JP got wrong. I look forward to further installments!

[@Steve_A93]

This was super cool, I'd love to hear you guys talk about Dilophosaurus and Baryonyx, really curious how they differed from the movies :)

[@brianlevine871]

Nice to have you back Ethan! It's actually a nice change of pace discussing what the JP films got right with some of their dinosaurs, and I'm glad T. rex is among those examples. Admittedly though, I'm surprised neither of you talked about the pronated hands, or even sound effects, since I think those would've also been interesting subtopics. Regardless, this was still an excellent video.

[@stefanlaskowski6660]

I never believed that a dinosaur as gracile as Spinosaurus would have the muscle and bite force to kill a T-Rex. So far as we know, spinosaurs ate fish and smaller dinosaurs and would have no need to have immensely strong jaws. I think a fight between the two would be very brief even if the spinosaur is slightly larger.

[@ashmandar8130]

Didn't think I was gonna watch through the hour but it was so interesting I couldn't click off or fast forward.

[@Lonesoldier2268]

Heck yeah another vid from klayton

[@eagc7]

An episode about Spinosaurs accuracy would be neat to see given how Spinosaurs has changed over years since the film came out

[@markcobuzzi826]

I recall a few people even referencing the Shrek 2 meme with Spinosaurus: “For five minutes... could you not change your appearance... FOR FIVE MINUTES?!”

[@NioNerd]

Haven’t finished watching the whole video BUT I had to comment this: I loved that Ethan brought up something I’ve always had a critique about whenever a T. rex fights another large theropod. Is the fact that in the movies, anytime a T. rex bites the neck of whatever, they don’t die instantly or very soon after. It’s always been my biggest critique and gripe about JP/W films. Edit: Finished watching the video. Great video! Super cool to have a paleontologist whose also a fan of the films talk about the JP/W T. rex! I think it'd be cool if you did a video like this about Spinosaurus.

[@Black_Wolf1357]

in Jurassic franchise the trexes bite force is tearing flesh while reality trex bite force is bone crushing.

[@Shanic77]

This was great! I loved this different type of video! It was a great listen while working. Just a little video tip, I would have Ethan additionally record his audio separately from the web call (I'm assuming discord?) in one long audio file he can send you, so when editing the video you have your high-quality audio and his high-quality audio vs the compression of a digital call.

[@sullygamester5388]

A video of the Baryonyx would be so cool!

[@tucan9111]

Ooooh no it wouldn't, they'd spend the whole video complaining about its inaccuracy and I in particular am not here to see that.

[@sullygamester5388]

@@tucan9111 well I love the Baryonyx and it was one of my favorites so in my opinion it would be cool

[@Darklusterangel]

Its really great hearing Ethan and how passionate he is about not just paleontolgy but the JP movies as well, so many times if someone is well educated in a subject they tend to look down on common forms of media for getting things wrong and its nice to hear Ethan just putting his own little spin on why any of the rexes may have acted a certain way. Super cool video and great topic branching and discussions by yourself as well Klayton. A fantastic watch and super interesting

[@XenoRaptor-98765]

Let me guess what’s your next video “how Scientifically accurate are the Jurassic park velociraptors?

[@misirloupowerslide]

Imagine watching a T Rex creeping silently toward its prey , its sheer size somehow silently moving and blending in focused solely on its hunt

[@itsLeels]

Maybe a suggestion for future videos of this. Maybe the question on the top left of the screen? It would help myself remember the question on topic. It’s not bad that I forget but I like to be reminded during the conversation. Just a suggestion. Idk if other people have this problem. But yeah :)

[@Saiyanking72]

I do i seconded the suggestion pleas

[@Wolvy_86]

The theory that T.Rexy was not hungry is interesting. Also, Grant didn’t show any sign of agression or fleet, so that could also explain why Rexy was just curious.

[@UncleScorch]

The buck Rex indeed - the best looking of the bunch! Thanks for the vid!!

[@WhyTho525]

The Lost World: Jurassic Park had the best dinosaur designs out of all the films (not in terms of accuracy though)

[@TheLegendaryCheeto]

I appreciate the fact that you want to try to figure out the actual facts, as well as finding enjoyment in learning new things. I wish more people could be like you

[@michaelmahabir213]

Rexy is the true queen of Isla Nublar and the franchise.

[@GalvinBrackett]

Isla nublar is now destroyed by volcanic eruptions in 2018, she and others dinosaurs from isla nublar, now in American Mainland

[@JJJuanan]

This is the perfect stuff for your channel Klayton, both nerdy and educational. Awesome job, hoping that the next one is about Compsognathus or Sinoceratops.

[@hiddenintheLight]

it be cool if you do the spino next :)

[@JSB-2Z-2K]

I always found the JP Trex the best Trex version ever represented. It just looks so good, his eyes, well made head, the scream too is great

[@WhyTho525]

It's not the most accurate one (that goes to Saurian and Prehistoric Kingdom T.rex), but definitley the most iconic one.

[@maximosaurus042nd]

You two should’ve gone more in depth with the Tyrannosaurus vocalisations.

[@elcapitain1221]

I grew up and still live 10 min away from the dry island bone bed. We used to find all kinds of bones and teeth when I was a kid all along those river valleys. The predator teeth were especially interesting. All different types, colors, and age ranges. It lends to the theory that albertasaurus and possibly t-rex were more family focused that we might figure. Two of the most prized teeth we found were a large adult and a very small baby's. Both found within 100 meters of each other. Same color, same shape, and very similar condition. Nice to have my home included in such an excellent video.

[@HelenaSan425]

i love the T.rex great vid klayton!

[@vinnygranata8363]

I can’t believe a real paleontologist said “Yeah Spino would’ve died with that rex bite” (paraphrased of course) lol😂 Such a cool video, I’m about to binge the other couple vids with this guy I haven’t seen yet!

[@Black_Wolf1357]

but I Rex should have died too from the bite force, even the carnotaur survived Rexy's bite force and it should have been crushed but it didn't

[@DunedanoftheSouthlands097]

Great video! The only thing that I think sounded odd to me is that T.Rex couldn’t really run for long distances. Tyrannosaurs along with other running coelurosaurs like ornithomimosaurs have special adaptations in their middle toes where the bone is pinched in between the other metatarsals. Because of this, there wasn’t as much space between these bones as there were in other giant theropods, and this would have allowed for energy to be redistributed when running, allowing the animal to run for longer. Granted, it may still not have been able to run for very long in comparison to animals that run long distances today, but it could run a bit faster and longer than comparatively sized carcarodontosaurs certainly.

[@anthonyhewitt9397]

Thumbnail looks the most realistic. I can easily picture that thing running around.

[@berylnorton7071]

Exactly 39th comment which means thank you in slang so thank you 4 the content

[@lilyrae6683]

This was one of the most amazingly awesome videos I've ever watched. I loved it! 10/10 would watch again! One thing I wish you could have asked was the voice of the tyrannosaurus! I know they didn't necessarily always roar and how terrifying their vocal range was, feeling out the area with rumbling terror. Lol. Love it!

[@TheGintama86]

Acctually theres an audio file that scientist made of whag it would actually sound like. Its on youtube only thing is ud need headphones to hear it
