T. rex didn't fall over easily due to its low center of gravity (below the hips) and powerful tail acting as a counterbalance, allowing for stability, much like a modern bird or ostrich, but much larger. If it did fall, it would use its strong hind legs, tuck them under its body, and use its massive head and tail for leverage to heave itself back up, possibly using its surprisingly strong, though short, arms for a push-up motion.
They could statically hold up the weight a car (or elephant) at those tooth positions with masses of 3.5-6.5 tonnes, and likely lift (accelerate upwards) minimum masses of 2.3-4.3 tonnes with modest effort.
Holding the arms in a T-Rex-like position may provide a sense of security or help in managing sensory overload. It's also a form of stimming (self-stimulatory behavior), which is common in autistic individuals as a way to self-regulate emotions and sensory input.
In order to stand or walk, animals like dinosaurs must balance on their feet. To do this, they must keep their center of gravity "between" their feet. The center of gravity is the balance point of a body.
I think one of the aspects that may play to their survival is that they are extremely tough and robust. We're learning now that the immune systems of crocodiles, for instance, are just incredible. They can sustain the most frightful injuries.
Although the Stegosaurus, Iguanodon, and Diplodocus make the list as the friendliest, they're far from the only ones. Beasts such as the Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, and other herbivores likely shared some of those gentle behaviors.
Birds have the closest DNA to dinosaurs, as they are direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs, making them living dinosaurs; chickens and ostriches, in particular, share strong genetic links with T. rex, confirmed through protein analysis and shared physical traits like scales and bone structure. While crocodilians (alligators, crocodiles) are also close relatives, birds are the most immediate living link to the dinosaur lineage.
Probably not. The small proro-human mammals that survived the dinosaur killing impact would not have had the opportunity to spread as far and differentiate in a dinosaur filled world. Very likely mammals would still be small and in marginal niches if those apex dinosaur predators were still around.
Tyrannosaurus rex had a life expectancy of about 28 years. Previous studies have suggested that it went through a growth spurt in its teenage years, but until recently, scientists didn't know much about how it grew from a hatchling to a powerful predator.
The ADHD "2-Minute Rule" suggests doing any task taking under two minutes immediately to build momentum, but it often backfires by derailing focus due to weak working memory, time blindness, and transition difficulties in people with ADHD. A better approach is to write down these quick tasks on a separate "catch-all" list instead of interrupting your main work, then schedule specific times to review and tackle them, or use a slightly longer timeframe like a 5-minute rule to prevent getting lost down "rabbit holes".
The five gifts of ADHD include creativity, emotional sensitivity, exuberance, interpersonal empathy, and being nature-smart (The Gift of Adult ADD, 2008).
The ADHD "30% Rule" is a guideline suggesting that executive functions (like self-regulation, planning, and emotional control) in people with ADHD develop about 30% slower than in neurotypical individuals, meaning a 10-year-old might function more like a 7-year-old in these areas, requiring adjusted expectations for maturity, task management, and behavior. It's a tool for caregivers and adults with ADHD to set realistic goals, not a strict scientific law, helping to reduce frustration by matching demands to the person's actual developmental level (executive age) rather than just their chronological age.
The double dinosaur emojis (🦖🦖) primarily represent literal dinosaurs (like the T-Rex and Sauropod), but in internet slang, they often mean someone or something is old-fashioned, outdated, or “a dinosaur” that hasn't kept up with modern times, similar to calling someone out for using old tech or having outdated ideas. It can also just mean dinosaurs in general or be used playfully to call someone big and powerful, or even represent trans identities online.
The T. rex has you beat in pure speed, but even if you were racing from a starting line, you'd have a healthy lead before the dinosaur even got its massive body into proper running position. If you were just wandering around in Dinosaurland, you'd likely see the T.
Certainly it's OK for a Tyrannosaurus to take a "mild" 10,000 volt shock, probably along with the Triceratops and Stegosaurus due to their thick hides and size, but that type of voltage would likely kill smaller dinosaurs with the exception of Velociraptors, who had attacked the fences multiple times without suffering ...
In place of our primate relatives, Coulson offers a contender that many might find startling: the octopus. He points to their cleverness and adaptability.
If the answer is that 1) the dinosaurs lived and died before Adam and Eve, then we are consistent with evolutionary theory at least in the sense that dinosaurs lived long before humans.
Given enough warning, yes we could deflect it. As far as how much warning we would get is variable depending on if the asteroid approaches from the sunward side of earth's orbit or from the night side. But an asteroid that size would likely get detected years in advance.
In 2007, Nicolas Cage paid $276,000 at a Beverly Hills auction for a rare Tyrannosaurus bataar skull, outbidding Leonardo DiCaprio. The skull was later found to be illegally smuggled from Mongolia, where it's protected by strict cultural heritage laws.
Some geneticists also estimate that every person on planet Earth is at least a fiftieth cousin to everyone else. Family researchers may not see pedigree collapse for several generations, but inevitably it will pop up as you climb the family tree.
The woolly mammoth is the animal most prominently linked to a 2027 return, with biotechnology firm Colossal Biosciences aiming to have a cold-resistant elephant hybrid with mammoth traits walking the Earth by then, using gene-editing to help restore Arctic ecosystems. While not a true resurrection, this project aims to create a functional woolly mammoth-like creature, with other efforts also underway to de-extinct animals like the Tasmanian tiger (thylacine) and dodo.
Adult diplodocuses had no natural enemies
Adult diplodocuses were so large that even the most aggressive predators of the time wouldn't brave an attack on one.
The T. rex, star of the "Jurassic Park" franchise, takes the crown as the most dangerous dinosaur. It had the strongest bite force of any land animal in the Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous periods. Weighing around 9 tons (8.2 metric tonnes) and standing nearly 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall, T.
