;D T-Rex was a wimpy scavenger that hid in the shadows? The snake would have wrapped its self around his neck and strangled him. End of T-Rex! ;D

Lol. You don't honestly believe thats true. ;D Its a big snake, but tis only 10 feet longer then today's snakes! Tyrannosaurus was massive. Do you think today's snakes would eat an adult giraffe? No... ;D Now let's upgrade that giraffe to the size of an adult Tyrannosaurus and that reticulated python to the size of this new snake. Same principle. ;D You guys crack me up sometimes. I know you guys are kidding, but that was just far fetched! ;D

It could have young Tyrants I guess...but it couldn't dine on an adult Rex...now if the Rex was attacking it..and it managed to wrap it's coils about the beast's neck....it could conceivably bring down an adult Tyrannosaur. Cut off the air supply to just about any animal and it's done for..wasn't it Seismosaurus that choked to death while swallowing stones ? I couldn't get this pc to work on the last page so here is a link to it : www.vore.net/newsgroups/WilliamStout-%20Madtsoia_vs_Laplatasaurus.jpgDino vs Snake...great image by William Stout...

There is no doubt smaller Tyrannosaurs could have been on the menu, but this is true of any animal. Not just dinosaurs, not just theropods, not just Tyrannosaurus.
Its unlikely a snake could would, or could get into that position on a Tyrannosaurus.

I don't know..pretty much anythings possible one close to this snake's size could have prob done the job easily..say if it was disturbed by an animal drinking or these snakes could hang out in trees. Constrictors do attack things to large for them to eat on occasion...just look a the Black Rat Snake from the US i can't count how many times I've seen one of them wrap up a man's arm and start squeezing...or all those documentaries on large snakes..I'm sure you've seen them..trying to eat cows and such.
It maybe unlikely...but the image it paints is still pretty attractive to the imagination..lol

I don't doubt it could if it were full grown, but we are forgetting just how large theropods could grow.
Yes, this snake was massive! But Tyrannosaurus, like Carchardontosaurus, was larger then an elephant. I think on occasion, we take for granted just how powerful these animals would have been.

I don't take it for granted how strong they would have been, but a snakes/anaconda muscles are also very strong. And i doubt the Rex would be able to use its useless puny arms to rip the snake from its neck.

Puny? Useless?
You are wrong. These arms were far more powerful than even a lowland gorilla, which can easily lift 500 lbs. There are many theories on its usage, such as lifting itself off the ground, grabbing prey white it devours, or for mating.
Comparing to Tyrannosaurus is a sore subject. If a snake were in fact desperate enough to attack something as massive as Tyrannosaurus, it would have a hard time wrapping itself around its neck. Tyrannosaurus would have been quicker on its feet,and much more powerful as an adult.
In any case, they would most likely avoid combat. And judging by Tyrannosaurus' massive neck muscles, killing Tyrannosaurus wouldn't be a walk in the park.

Reason being the whole snake vrs Rex subject was sarcasim at first but you get so defensive about that dinosaur the joke is on you.

The forum isn't meant for sarcasm. As far as I know you were serious. If you don't want an argument, don't bring up stupid debates.
If I knew you were being sarcastic, I would have blown you off, but because the internet doesn't show your emotions, I decided you were actually proposing this silly event.

BTW, Im not into arguing with kids, I actually try and avoid them at all costs. And who are you to decide if a debate is stupid or not?

You brought up a debate over a snake killing a Tyrannosaurus. I used to find pleasure in this, but prehistoric battles are childish in my opinion now.
Kid? How on earth do you know I'm a kid? And if I am, does that make me any less educated than you?
Not necessarily.
If you haven't noticed "Sir", I haven't been sarcastic in weeks. Obviously this is "The Pot calling the kettle black".
You got mad that I was actually arguing over your fight of grandeur. If you don't want to talk, and would like people to agree with people on everything, maybe you shouldn't be on a "forum"?
Thanks.
Oh, and by the way, if you think my comments are "Stupid" look at yours and tell me what you think.
If you will notice, I haven't thrown any heated comments or questions at you. I was simply debating with you over the topic. Now please, refrain from the aggressiveness.
You see, this is why threads become locked. Aggression takes over and people eventually become "rude". How about we try to keep this one unlocked?

If a snake drops from a tree limb and wraps itself around T-Rex's neck, it's over. Lights out! T-Rex would have no way to get the snake off. His weenie arms would be useless. His only defense would be to ram himself into trees trying to smash the snake. No way that T-Rex is dead. Sorry! ;D

The fingers would have just been ripped off if it tried to remove a snake from it's neck exerting 1000s of pounds of force. Remember Tyrannax, tyrannosaurus wasn't superpowerful! It could have been killed by something as small as a toe infection. ;D

Enough with all this T.Rex bashing...It's boooring! And,by the way,these "puny arms" you like to mock are almost a meter long...Yes,they are "short" in comparision with the whole body,but i wouldn't call 'em "puny" T.rex wasn't "Super-Powerful",NO living being in all the universe is invincible...But,among the terrestrial predators,both past and present,,it was simply the BEST animal Nature could create

^ Uhhhh....use its feet? Are you saying you know for sure T-Rex used its arms to stand? ;D
CT, when T-Rex gets bashed at I come in when I think its preposterous. Notice I haven't said a snake couldn't kill it IF it were able to get around the neck! But if it were on the ground it better watch its tail. ;D
Nothing is invincible, but who is stronger. You, or T-Rex?
I'd say something of its size is pretty darn close to being the most powerful theropod! ;D
And how do you guys "know" the snake would kill T-Rex? We can guess, but you don't known for sure now do you? ;D
And before you say anything, no we don't know exactly that dinosaurs had tongues! We just don't! ;D But we're 99.9 percent sure judging by its close relatives and descendants.
Go sid! ;D
Oh, and btw, a Dinosaur can be the best if its only an opinion. ;D Its a little thing called "favorite".

If it tripped and broke it's arms, it would just kinda lay there, fidget a little, and eventually die, or get eaten by another tyrannosaur. I think when you bash sauropods all the time calling them "allosaurus lunch" is preposterous. Yet you still bash them! ;D
