The SCARIEST T.Rex Theory Nobody Talks About Anymore - Jurassic World History

[@revol2933]

"It's like... it's not a dinosaur! Just GO RESEARCH ONE! They still live!" ~ Klayton about komodo dragon

[@animationsbydeucestudios61]

This is one of the reasons I really love the cloning aspect of Jurassic Park. It’s because of that you can really have a lot of speculative science like the Dilophosaurus venom, the troodons well if you know you know

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

Same. But it is mildly annoying when pretentious dweebs rag on Crichton about those elements, like they've never encountered venomous reptiles in real life.

[@Jason_Kunkel]

Troodons were FREAKING terrifying! I would rather try my odds against a raptor than troodon. At least from the novels/the Tell-Tale game.

[@theteainpotato]

the troodons have given me nightmares (like many other dinos) not even of their tactic but just of a bunch of big glowing eyes watching while in the middle of a forest.

[@deinsilverdrac8695]

It's thematic too. It show that we don't know anything about those dinosaurs and we can't control them. Who could've guessed compy and dilo had Venom. No one, now deal with it and adapt, Well you will fail because you can't control nature

[@Emperor_Oshron]

i don't know about tyrannosaurs, but "actual" obligate scavengers having a septic bite is certainly interesting as an artistic liberty. i'll have to remember that for one of my own writing and worldbuilding projects.

[@seanmckelvey6618]

To be fair, basically all animals, especially ones that eat meat, have 'septic bites'. A bite from another person will result in a pretty severe infection without treatment. Obviously, a Tyrannosaur bite would most likely result in a fatal infection for any other animal unlucky enough to experience such a thing and walk away, but then so would the bites of any other carnivorous dinosaur. This theory has always gotten an "well yeah, obviously" response from me, but I never really understood why it was pushed as some special ability that was unique to T.rex.

[@zachzolikoff3402]

With the context of Komodo dragons have venom and that in the Jurassic World Evolution games we see genomes can be completed with Komodo dragon DNA, granted the canon of those game are loose, it would be awesome to see an animal with that toxic bite in the movies and that being a theme where a character gets bitten and slowly is infected throughout the move with those animals pursuing them.

[@KanyeTheGayFish69]

Komodo dragons actually have good oral hygiene, and it’s unlikely to cause an infection from the bite alone. The buffalos that get bit instinctively run to the water to escape, and that water is usually full of feces and bacteria leading to an infection.

[@LBTElectricDinoOnline]

Nice and pretty Interesting Video Klayton of the scariest T. rex scene from the Jurassic Franchise that nobody even realizes how it actually happened and great points you’ve made on this scene with the Tyrannosaurus from the Jurassic Franchise and honestly, I really hope they make the Rex a lot stronger in the future of the franchise. Great work Klayton and as always, Take It Easy and Life Finds A Way.

[@silverheart4049]

Considering the size of the mouth, I wouldn't be surprised if T.rex didn't have a symbiotic relationship with some kind of smaller animal cleaning out its mouth for scraps like we see with many crocodilians now. No doubt its mouth would have been nasty, but T.rex needed those teeth to live. It doesn't have rows ready to go like a shark. Sufficiently bad enough gingivitis would have been lethal, and there would be big chunks of meat stuck between those daggers. A mutually beneficial relationship with some small scavengers would make sense. These could have been birds, pterosaurs, smaller therapods, or maybe possibly even some kind of primitive mammals.

[@TutankhamaruCapac]

If the venomous nanotyrannus can be proven to be a young Tyrannosaurus (which it might), then the septic bite thing would still be more or less plausible (maybe only for their young?). Some animals lose their venom as they mature I have understood.

[@captainmarvelous1221]

To bad we can’t go back in time and see these animals hunt in action while not trying to cause an butterfly effect before return to the present day. Yes I l would love to see this theory in a prequel movie

[@Jason_Kunkel]

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but, I always dismissed that theory. It didn't make sense to me. Every animal in the wild that has the problem of flesh getting stuck in their teeth wind up with health issues of their own. It would be almost as bad for the rex as would be for any prey. I always assumed there was some sort of venom in the komodo dragon's bite. The komodo dragon is more like a compy than a t-rex, except it has BIG bite power. THAT would be an awesome angle for a future Jurassic movie. "Hero's witness a t-rex attacking another dino, that one escapes. Hero's track wounded dino to see the healing process, a day or 2 later it dies anyway. They examine it & determine the bites shouldn't have been lethal. They begin running tests & come to the realization that it had been poisoned by the rex bite.

[@melvinshine9841]

The theory about a septic bite being a T.rex' main weapon always kind of silly. Just about everything with teeth and saliva has a bunch of bacteria in their mouth that could cause an infection. We brush our teeth and human mouths are still filthy. Considering a T.rex bite could pierce and shatter bone meaning pathogens could easily get inside a wound, dinosaurs had immune systems and pretty powerful ones. Some animals certainly did die of an infection after getting bitten by a T.rex but not more so than any other toothed theropod that ever lived.

[@Breviparopus]

I don't agree as they didn't evolve from a venomous ancestor like komodo dragons have and why with that biteforce would you need the bacteria

[@kylgrv]

I remember hearing about this theory, and, personally, I don’t believe T. rex had a septic bite, or would’ve needed one to begin with. A single bite from those strong jaws could still do a lot of damage, but even if the T. rex wouldn’t have a septic bite, I’m still quite sure a well placed bite would’ve caused a bad infection anyway if the prey managed to escape.

[@bobnarament3420]

Yeah, it has been pretty much abandoned as a theory

[@prestonlogan3808]

Not to mention one of the cornerstones of the theory is that trex had serrated teeth, which caught the meat. While trex does have serrated teeth, most carnivorous dinosaurs also did, meaning most carnivorous dinosaurs had a septic bite

[@Mr.Dorkian]

And on top of that, we now know that the real reason behind the Komodo's "septic" bite isn't because of bacteria but rather the venom glands it has in it's lower jaw. Edit: I wrote this comment before finishing the full video, so I am glad he mentioned the Komodo's venom.

[@ArtemisDalmasca]

It really wouldn't have needed the septic bite. Like you said, a well placed bite could do a lot of damage still, and since dinosaurs didn't know anything about medicine or tending to their wounds, it would've probably become infected anyway just from trying to survive.

[@NathanSpies]

What’s worse, a T-Rex biting you and your skin getting infected or a T-Rex biting your arm completely off?

[@solidSnake4580]

What makes you think it’ll stop at your arm?

[@animationsbydeucestudios61]

Well to be fair if a T-Rex bites off your arm, the area would still get infected so either way it still sucks

[@RussianJackal]

I also recall reading an article that theorized that the Rex’s nasty ass mouth could have killed them much earlier than their actual lifespan. There may have been parasites that were slowly eating their faces from the outside, eventually killing the therapod. The article stated that the bone breakdown caused by such parasites were mistaken for other rex bites. I don’t know how much validity this theory has, but still an interesting and scary concept.

[@bobnarament3420]

This theory has no validity. Sue may have died from a jaw/throat infection but Scotty and other fossils don’t show the same signs of infection so it really has no backing.

[@mattpalmer1140]

[@edwardleemiller-eo8jp]

As for the flesh between the Rex’s teeth, the Cretaceous world prologue from Dominion hit the nail on the head by showing the Giga laying down with his jaws open and allowing scavengers to act as Dino dentists and give him a cleaning. It showed Giga not as a monster, but as a creature living in symbiosis within its ecosystem.

since giganotosaurus never even saw T.rex in reality, I think he just time traveled, and wanted to live his best life in the last days of the mesozoic.

[@JohnCena8351]

The scary part about that septic bite (if T.rex did have one) is that the smell of rotting flesh on a prey animal that somehow survived would definitely attract dozens of scavengers that would literally eat the half dead, barely moving animal alive. THAT in a new Jurassic movie would be terrifying.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Ah man that brings back memories!

[@jaredmc7982]

Yeah, I don’t really hear the septic bite hypothesis being talked about by the Tyrannosaur researchers I’ve spoken with. In fact, most of them say that a prey animal would rapidly succumb to the traumatic shock from the damage inflicted from the bite itself, before such an infection would even have been likely at all. As for the venom from Komodo’ dragons, that might still be controversial, due to how venom proteins are defined. It’s kind of very rudimentary “venom” that are just barely above digestive enzymes you’d find in many other animals. But again, that too depends on which herpetologist researchers you talk to.

[@ianfortuna9385]

Klayton big fan of the channel, I never thought of this before but it makes more sense than it should that bite would’ve been fatal regardless

[@jamsbasketball9676]

I like that theory. It's similar to what would happen in the unlikely event you would survive a tiger attack. Tigers have bacteria in their claws and mouths that could lead to a painful and protracted death. You would be better off being killed in the initial attack.

🤔 . . . It’d be interesting that a T-Rex, or even a different carnivorous dinosaur, ate a wild native animal that was infected with, say, rabies. And because of the nature of such disease(s), its not traumatically affected, but utilizes it on par with the Komodo Dragons’ infectious bite…

[@IgnatiusBlaze4]

I only heard about it a couple years ago, thought it was cool, can't believe I hadn't heard of it sooner... but then shortly after yeah it was disproven for the Komodo Dragon so ehh less exciting. That being said, might not necessarily disprove it, but if something alive today can be disproven, that humans have known existed since 1912, to have this what are the odds someone studying something alive and disproven? Like what are the odds we can prove or disprove it in a 65 million year old animal that hasn't been alive since then? (also fun fact, Komodo Dragons used to be cryptids, along with the Platypus for those that don't know, creatures skirting on is it real or not, like Big Foot or the famous prehistoric Nessie. That isn't to say all are are real, some have been disproven like the Hodag and Chupacabra, I think Big Foot is realistic but despite liking Nessie the most and wanting it to exist the most... let's be honest how is a 65 million year old animal survived alone in a lake this long?)

[@Macrochenia]

The thing about Tyrannousaurses was that they didn't actually need a bacteria-filled septic bite to do the bite-and-wait-for-prey-to-succumb strategy. Their mouths were huge, which meant they could tear a big chunk of flesh out of their prey and then back off. That would mean that their prey was now missing a huge chunk of muscle tissue so they were injured, they couldn't move as well, they were probably bleeding quite a bit. Just a massively traumatic injury that would cripple its victim and had a good chance of finishing them off due to shock and blood loss. And if not, the T rex could track it and attack again once it was vulnerable.

Glad it's not just me who had the headcanon that it was infection from the Rex biting him that "killed" Ian Malcolm in the novel. I personally like to headcanon that in the films, bacteria from the broken toilet block and possibly from bit of Gennero's bowels falling on the open wound from his broken leg did give Ian a really nasty infection and the overheating from it is what caused the famous open shirt scene. Although another, probably more plausible, headcanon for that scene is that it's summer on a tropical island in a room full of overheating 90s PCs and Nedry turned the aircon off on his way out as an extra f you. Which is supported by the fact that Ray Arnold also has his shirt somewhat undone.

[@kuvanje_36028]

This theory would be better suited to a dinosaur that hunted by opening a wound to bleed its prey (if you already open the wound in your prey it wouldn't be bad for it to get infected) like carcharodontosaurus (which had teeth much thinner and sharper than the tr rex) and not to a dinosaur that finished off its prey with the sheer force of its biteand I think that he rarely had the intention of opening the wound because his teeth were not really suitable for such a thing

[@doomslayerprime9749]

I was hoping you do a video on this concept it's still something I more than hold dear to me regardless to it being outdated or still praying it still could be possible.

[@alantorresdwyer5542]

Great video as always. I have the theory that, while yes a Tyrannosaurus' bite would most likely carry all manner of harmful bacteria, it's possible that the blood of at least the larger dinosaurs was packed with potent antibiotics, in order to survive not just the bite of a predator, but also the horns, spikes and hooves of herbivores. This is the case in modern day crocodiles and alligators; these animals brutally bite one another all the time, yet they rately suffer from infections. With so much evidence for inter-specific combat in dinosaurs, like face biting in tyrannosaurs, it wouldn't shock me that they developed similar defenses.

But it turned out Komodo Dragons have venom glands so this pretty much throws the sceptic bite theory in the trash can

[@KurNorock]

Eh. I don't think so. For two reasons. 1. There are several specimens of dinosaurs with t-rex teeth buried in its bones and healed over. Meaning a live animal was bitten, escaped, and survived long enough for bone to regrow. Meaning their was no dangerous infection. 2. It didn't need it. The bite force was so strong that it much more often than not was enough to "one shot" anything the t-rex bit. Also, t-rex was not an ambush hunter like a komodo dragon. It was a persistence hunter. It chased animals down over many miles until they were too exhausted to keep running or fight back. And in such a situation, there is no reason to then just nip the animal and wait around for an infection to kill it.

[@WarMasterGeneral]

Personally never cared for these kinds of theories screwing around with the T-Rex's bite. Why would it have such a bite force if it scavenged? Why would it evolve such powerful jaws if it could just infect and pursue? T-Rex lived alongside ANKYs if we recall. It's already not likely to get under those spikes, so it might as well guarantee that it's first shot counts. Not to mention, if it wasn't a carnivore, paleontologists would be like: "Those massive jaws were for display purposes."

[@rileyernst9086]

I think if one were to be bitten by a tyrannosaurus the last thing they'd be thinking about is possible sepsis. And the more immediate concern would be the literal BONE CRUSHING POWER of the bite. Besides the theory is based on the idea that kommodo dragons use a similar method. Which has been completely disproven kommodo dragons actually practice quite good oral hygiene and have relatively clean mouths. Much like many therepod dinosaurs kommodo dragons rely on using their ziphodont teeth to cause devistating soft tissue damage, sometimes dismemberment, and massive bloodless. The whole infection thing comes from the fact that if you're a water buffalo, when a giant lizard has been chasing you around all day in the tropical heat you start to overheat and want to wallow to cool off, and the places where things like water buffalo wallow they also shit. And 25-35'C water/shit/mud is really really great for breeding bacteria. So it's more 'mammalian bathing hygiene' issue more than anything.

Komodo Dragons beautiful creatures and lucky for us humans they are not roaming on the main lands but a only on a couple of islands in indonesiä. Its bite is so dangerous because it has more then 50000 different kinds of bacteria in its saliva with 10000 of them deadly. Thats what Steve Irwin thought me when i was a kid ;) Now for T-rex to have the same kind of deadlyness to its bites? Not impossible but seems farfetch'd by looking at the hunter/scavengers of today. Crocodilians don't have it, Tigers, Lions, Bears, Hyena's, Jackals all are lacking it. Crocodiles have those birds pecking its teeth clean, and since Crocodiles have been around longer then T-rex is extinct, I can imagine a pre-evolution version doing that for T-rex aswell. Sure any meateater it being a scavenger or hunter can have rotting meat stuck between its teeth and bite something else and they would get an infection because of it and we would call it bad luck.

You know what's tearing me now about Tyrannosaurus' prey? Pachycephalosaurus, Torosaurus & Regaliceratops were found in some of the same areas as Triceratops, Edmontosaurus & Ankylosaurus & none but the latter more famous 3 were ever shown on screen in ANY doc. getting preyed upon, eaten or fought against a Tyrannosaurus. Dakotaraptor, I can understand

I recall the show Jurassic Fight Club mentioning this during one of their episodes. At first I wasn't sure about it since we know T-Rex loses alot of teeth in its lifetime. However the gums, tongue and saliva stay inside. So one could only imagine the nasty bad breath it would have. Not to mention the amount of bacteria lurking inside the mouth. It would maybe perhaps give a small infection if bits of the saliva were to maybe enter the bloodstream though I doubt it is something T-Rex would do. But for sure just like sharks, T-Rex would be a dentist's nightmare. Personally I don't think T-Rex would have that kind of weapon. The jaws and sharp teeth are more than enough to kill and eat whatever. But a dangerous secret within the mouth could be scary if one is lucky enough to get away.

I know this is an unrelated topic, but I personally feel that the cloning of dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park/World movies almost seems like a metaphor for nuclear weapons. When nuclear weapons technology became prolific there was a belief that they could (and still can) destroy humanity. In the Jurassic Park movies Ian Malcom was concerned that bringing back extinct creatures would be a disaster for humanity. After the Cold War authoritarian states like Iran and North Korea developed nuclear technology themselves. A t rex or pack of raptors escaping their enclosures and wreaking havoc could be a metaphor for nukes getting into the hands of terrorists. I wonder if Michael Crichton was alluding to that in a metaphorical way.

Septic bite would be great for a ambush predator. Something small and not very fast or strong that could bite something once and then track it for miles.

Klayton, Dangerville, Swrve, & Evolution Square for a livestream soon 😅

[@itbutcher1838]

You’re videos are always a good listen during workouts, been a huge fan since 2017.

[@ahq1042]

Klayton needs his own dinosaur show/movie. Mans got too many GOATed ideas for them to go untold

[@Lightman741]

I wish I could experience watching JP1 as an 8 year old for the first time again. I hid behind my pillow watching all scenes with the T-Tex with squinted eyes

[@andyschroyer7713]

i heard of this theory from watching Jurassic Fight Club from the History Channel. If this theory had been true it would have made Tyrannosaurus even more terrifying lol.

[@KingofTheGojiras]

It's funny when I saw the thumbnail of this video I thought it was trying to push this outdated myth about T-rex having a septic bite. Glad it wasn't I actually enjoyed the video a lot. Any wound can become infected if left untreated, T-rex didn't have any more bacteria in it's mouth than any other animal, nor did it have any "special" bacteria in it's mouth.

The interesting part I recently learned most "non venomous" snakes have some kind of venom. Just is not a primary offense or defense mechanism so they did not evolve a means to inject or spray venom. As for T-Rex I can see their bite being both bound to be some aggressive bacteria from feeding. Being out right a nip and your are done for my sepsis or venom possible maybe with genetic mixed nature. As for us people strong as our immune system is with a bight from a grown Rex. Bones being crushed, flesh ripped, massive blood loss. Any bacteria getting to the bone marrow and that much muscle and possible organ tissue exposed to open air and environmental elements. Not much one can do if you manage to escape from reach. With out removing the limb and constant cleaning and massive amounts of full spectrum antibiotics and medical staff monitoring the bodies condition and reactions. It's definitely deadly either way. As for other dinosaurs going from a experience with big game animals and cattle. Seen elk still running with chucks missing from predator wounds. Cattle on one hand can have a porthole on them, letting veterinarians monitor digestive cycles and take samples. We humans might have a complex and powerful immune system but we are extremely fragile things.
