    Before you see the final fight, remember this: The Fight simulation is just one of the MANY ways the fight could have carried out. The purpose of the fight simulations is to point out one potentially plausible way the fight could have happened. Realistically this fight could have lasted many minutes.. or maybe a few seconds. Also keep in mind that the outcome of these battles heavily depends on the individual creature's weight, length, size, experience.. etc. So the outcome may not be the exact same 100% of the time, as is the case in the animal kingdom today. Enjoy the episode!

      When you brought up the comparison between Palaeoloxodon and Argentinosaurus, my mind immediately went to a gag from Dexter’s Laboratory.
      One episode involves a Kaiju named Badaxtra being awakened, which goes on a rampage and causes the show’s entire cast to try bringing it down. At one point, all the “Justice Friends” are called, including a superhero who can change his size. That superhero grows to his maximum size and faces his opponent with determination… only to realize that he is still less than half the kaiju’s height and get casually flicked away.

    A few unconsidered factors:
    I am not an expert, but am an enormous nerd, and love reading papers about ancient, enormous animals! I have also spent thousands of hours in African Game Parks, since my father works in conservation and wildlife research. My father works closely with the NPO Save the Elephants, and works with primary and archaeological research in the concessions he works with. I spent much of my childhood with him and nerdily absorbing all I could.
    1) Stealth. It may seems remarkable that an Elephant could be stealthy, but they are eerily quiet. Their extremely padded feet, consistent 3-contact-point stride, and their surprising dexterity in manoeuvring around obstacles, makes them remarkably quiet. I have been snuck up on by a herd of elephants more often than a single, male buffalo. Yet, elephants don't just listen with their ears, but literally listen with their feet. Conversely, a T-rex has similar weight in excess of an elephant bull, but half the number of feet, which end in hard claws. Further, their is little evidence that T-rex had "audiopodal" hearing. However, the likelihood that T-rexes had countershading or camouflage, given a likely preference for ambush hunting, leaves their visual stealth a distinct advantage, when compared to Paleoloxodon which had absolutely no need nor desire to camouflage itself.
    EDIT! New research suggests that T-Rexes do have pretty well padded feet and were well adapted for stealth! And had ears which would have happily picked up infrasound!
    2) Intimidation. Dinosaur vocalisation in large therapods was limited to low grumbling, and hissing like modern crocodiles, given that they lacked a syrinx. Conversely, elephants far smaller than "Paleo" trumpet louder than a helicopter, while infrasonically rumbling louder than that. A T-rex would hear both. The sound that Paleo would produce is extremely unnerving to an animal which would have never heard another animal make a noise quite that loud in quite such a wide range. And it would have no idea what to expect of or do against a trunk.
    3) I'd like to hammer home the mass difference here. Paleo weighs close to double a T-rex's weight. I'm an average person, of average weight. This would be like placing me in a fist fight against the Mountain Who Rides. It's a no-contest. I would be hurled around like ragdoll.
    4) Range. Not only can elephants throw objects with accuracy, which would be fucking mindboggling to an animal which had never seen any creature accurately throw an object of a hundred pounds, but Paleoloxodon's tusks nearly double the length of a Triceratops's horns. Meanwhile, the T-rex has their considerable skull-length, but are still thoroughly outranged.

      But all these insights could not be applicable: behaviour is also important, as it would be difficult to believe only from fossils records that an animal like a wolf can take down a cow or a mustelid a rabbit 4 times heavier but they can due to the overall stupidity of the cow, which is not a good fighter, and the extreme audacity of teh mustelid on the other hand... all these info would be very difficult to get right. Not to mention the psychological factor: how on earth would an alien believe from fossil records that the most intelligent animal on earth could sometimes be "disabled" and run away screaming by a small invertebrate on his way, which is completely incapable of harm... and yet some do.

  • @steve94183

    I’d love to see a video on how prehistoric animals would survive in the modern world. For example, how would a T-rex affect the local food chain, what would be its primary prey, and how would people be affected by the presence of such animals? You could also play around by putting the creatures in different environments. Think of how dangerous regular invasive species are and now imagine a dinosaur in such a situation. Some would probably thrive compared to their natural habitats but this could lead to the devastation of local wildlife and other resources. Imagine a Smilodon in Africa or India, maybe a Spinosaurus in the Amazon, and a Deinosuchus in Australia. We saw JW address this somewhat but there was still a lot left to the imagination that I think this channel could explore in more detail

The fauna would be entirely different, as would the climate and environment, which are all extremely important for a specialist like the Rex. Plus, it couldn’t survive against human hunters. T.rex was and is a highly advanced, intelligent, animal, and is the most powerful land predator on Earth. However, I think it would have a difficult time in today’s world.

    Realistically, a T-rex would probably be scared off by a paleoloxodon long before the situation could ever get violent. Not only is the latter larger _and_ potentially stronger, but elephants in general are very, very good at being intimidating.
    I don't know if much is known for sure about what kind of sounds dinosaurs could make, but I think it's reasonable to take an educated guess and assume the most they were capable of in terms of threatening sounds were hisses and bellows. This means that a T-rex would be in no way prepared for a 4-meter-tall behemoth with tusks that are nearly a third of the rex's entire body length charging directly at it while trumpeting at a roughly estimated volume of 180 decibels.

      No they weren't comparable in intelligence you just made that up.

    • @johnmarkson1990

      i would imagine the high number of brain cells put it up there in intelligence. around 7/10. elephants are probably the smartest animals ever at 10/10.
      breakdown;
      Therapods had primate-like numbers of telencephalic neurons (Suzana Houzel, Jan 2023).
      Telencephalic neurons control cognition and senses
      Suzana scaled up bird and reptile brain neurons to the larger t rex brains.
      This resulted in a neuron count similar to that of modern baboons.
      Scaling up is inaccurate and has many issues.
      also differences in brain configuration between dinosaurs and baboons.
      unlcear if size plays role in neuron count.
      unclear what ratio is cognition or senses. trex might of used the neurons for its extreme senses.
      Conclusion: apes are much smarter then t rex but t rex was probably much smarter then its brain to body ratio previously suggested. until further evidence is presented a solid 7/10 rating is awarded.

      ​​​​@@ldmr617The study that claims that the T. rex could have possibly been as smart as a primate was held after the brazilian neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel studies about a way that can precisely measure the number of neurons in a brain. With that in mind, scientist founded out that T. rexes brains had as much neurons as primates brains and hastily concluded that T. rexes were possibly as smart as modern apes. Even though the results showed that T. rexes had a great number of neurons, the study didn't consider the fact that the intelligence level of an animal does not relies only on it's brain size or on it's total number of neurons, but also the way that the neurons are organized or, in other words, how much developed it's brain is.
      After that, they better concluded that T. rexes were indeed smart (as always speculated), but not as inteligent as these recent studies have claimed (these studies even discussed the possibility of T. rexes forming cultures and complex social interactions, a bit exaggerated...).
      I really hope I've helped you and sorry for the bad english (I'm not native). I recommend you to search more about these recent studies that discuss dinosaurs inteligence level cuz I'm not a professional and I wouldn't be surprised if I have texted you wrong information.

      As far as real-life prehistoric beasts go, I can think of other potential matchups like these below, off the top of my head:
      *1.) Arctotherium angustidens vs. Barinasuchus arveloi -* The Cenozoic’s two largest known land predators. It would also be a matchup between a mammal and reptile, which have both roamed South America at different times.
      *2.) Livyatan vs. Paleo-Accurate Megalodon-* This might be similar to the Meg vs. InGen’s Mosasaurus battle. Only this time, it would be the real-life Megalodon going up against the very rival, which once competed against it for the same niche of giant alpha predator known for its massive teeth and bite. This might be the closest thing to a real-life version of that fictional rivalry between the T-Rex and Giga in Jurassic World Dominion’s prologue.
      *3.) Shonisaurus vs. Either Megalodon, Livyatan, or the Modern Sperm Whale -* I thought about putting one of the Cenozoic’s biggest non-filter-feeding aquatic predators against a Mesozoic marine reptile. But the Triassic’s giant ichthyosaurs seem to be the only candidates big enough to compete in those Cenozoic creatures’ weight class.
      *4.) Fasolasuchus vs. Saurophaganax -* The largest known land predators of the Triassic period vs. that of the Jurassic period.

    One thing that got me was that in the senses section they said that the rex won due to the better “close range” vision for combat. But when talking about the rexs vision it was said that the benefit was that it could pick up things from really far away, nothing about close range. The elephant on the other hand has the mono vision allowing for almost 360 degree vision at all times which IMO would be MUCH more beneficial in close range combat than good binocular vision.

      That's a common misconception. Monocular vision is good for observing around you to avoid ambush, at the cost of blind spots and worse distance judging. The T-Rex had binocular vision similar to a human or an eagle, allowing unobstructed vision directly in front of them with exception judge of distance, at the cost of being ambushed from behind. Monocular vision requires you to maintain the estimated size of the object to judge distance, though if you're facing something new, it's harder to judge distance. Especially for the first engagement, the T-Rex would be able to juke the Paleo thanks to its sudden bursts of speed.

    Casting my vote before I see the video. Palaeolozodon has a great chance at this, considering that it’s close to the size of the largest hadrosaurs, and those dinosaurs were definitely a last ditch effort for a rex. Without the strength of the herd, the elephant definitely is at a disadvantage, but it does has quite the weapons to combat a rex. Similar to the hadrosaurs it definitely can kick and stomp, not to mention its tusks to both toss it away as well as to skewer the rex. And its trunk absolutely could be used to grab parts of a rex. We can theorize the intelligence of the pachyderm while rex is trickier. I’ve heard it had similar neuron density to primates, and considering a rex is a wolf, tiger, or bear of the metazoic, I wouldn’t cast the rex as stupid by any stretch. It’s a stalking ambushing predator. But that’s where it can meet a downfall as well, while it’s hunting is primarily partitioned for surprise, it loses that edge in this fight. Additionally, the elephant doesn’t have many places the rex can actually get a solid bite on. It’s trunk, it’s ears, maybe its legs, but its very solidly built and I don’t think it’d be easy for the rex to get a killing grab on the elephant. I definitely think the elephant would do more damage to the rex than the rex could the elephant in a short fight to the death. We’ll see if I’m right!

    I love this channel because it doesn't just say the winner and give reason. It actually gives reason why both opponents could win. You make it to the point where you completely agree with the outcome. Even having two scenarios at times to show that both could win.
    I honestly agree with this outcome. Modern day predators usually have at least 1 gigantic mammoth that keeps them from ruling in tyranny. With bears, it Moose. With lions and crocodiles, its elephants and hippos. With sharks, its dolphins. etc...
    Why would dinosaurs be so different. Plus, that thing is so much bigger than the T-Rex. T-Rex was very smart and would most likely know the dangers of this absolute beast. Like you said, T-Rexs might have ganged up on the paleo based on current studies that indicate that it used groups in a similar fashion that Komodo dragons and alligators do.
    I really don't care who wins, that fight was 100% qualified badass and fun to watch. A battle between to of the gods greatest and scariest behemoths to walk on earth. What more could you ask for.

      The only Carnivores that can go 50/50 or above with a Rex are marine/semi-aquatic ones with the home-field advantage like the Megalodon, Deinosuchus, Sperm Whale, etc sure the Rex can swim well and can still defend itself but it's definitely out of its element in open water (it just goes to show the environment plays a big role in deciding the outcome of these fights and also shows most land Carnivores don't really stand a chance against the Rex with Giga probably having best chance, though imo it's still 30/70 in the Rex's favour due to being a more evolved animal and apex predator).

    This was a winnable fight for the Rex, However, the moment the T rex lost balance, it was over

      This battle reminded me of the fight in Game of Thrones, between the Red Viper and the Mountain.
      The former had the greater mobility and stamina needed to gradually wear down the latter and land a lethal strike. But once the former made a mistake and allowed its opponent to knock it off balance, then got pinned down, the fight was brutally finished.

      Lol this was never a winnable fight for the rex. It hasn't attacked animals twice its weight, it has battled armored tuskers like Triceratops but those were 6-8 tons, not 22 lmfao

      @marcellus_h7930
      Assuming it went for a back leg instead of tusk, it could have further inhibited the Palaeo's movement, increasing the probability of victory. At that point, it could also stay on the Palaeo's blind side, and out of range while being able to inflict more damage while evading tusk.
      However, as Goji Center said, it comes down to however makes a mistake first.

      ​​@@voidprimordiallike gojicenter himself said paleo won't stay there watching it can turn pretty fast and use trunks to bat away the rex. And it will take bit time for rex to inflict any series wound to paleo considering it's bulkier build battle wasn't that winnable to rex a rex never goes for something this size i would say 7 out of 10 times paleo crushes the rex

    Finally a channel that show that without plot armor dinos and other Mesozoic animals can die if they fight other prehistoric creatures and just go all out without thinking and strategy, i love tyrannosaurus but we do have alot of evidence that they did get serious messed up and killed by large herbivores from time to time so much so that most hunts that didn't start with an ambush were normally abandoned or unsuccessful

    This fight was everything I’ve ever wanted . It was incredible 😍 It’s so cool to finally see these two beasts have a face off . Tho I am a little sad that my favorite of the two lost . The loser didn’t go out like a wimp and gave it all he got . He went out like a warrior . Epic battle , guys . Keep them coming 😍😁🦖🐘

    The Palaeoloxodon is so used to fighting off Calamities that she thought the T rex was part of one. She was wrong. He wasn’t.

    Ironically the Carcharodontasaurs might be better suited to hunting the large elephants than T-rex. Since the Carchara's bite is blade like and since they were VERY used to fighting animals even bigger than Paleo they might've stood a better chance. What do you guys think?

    • @bobbyjankins3796
      @bobbyjankins3796 Год назад +93

      In a hunting scenario, yes the carchara would be more effective, but in a face to face fight the T. Rex would be better equipped, for example carchara wouldn’t be able to bite down on the tusk and break them like T. Rex could

    • @ducestat06savage99

      If char is not only less agile and lighter than rex its not happening especially if paleo is already nearly as agile and bigger than rex

      Carchardontosaurus is bigger and longer arms than T-Rex so this scenario is possible.

      @TheLastSane1 Год назад +21

      @@jalvarez5335 Yes the Acro hunted like Humans hunted, bleeding the prey and wearing it down via stamina loss. The problem is that an Acro fighting another creature head on is not its style they would chase down pray and take out bites, not fight head to head. They harassed and herded prey.

    best death battle of the year, I knew the paleo would win when the music shifted to his theme, almost seemed like the T-rex had it breaking the tusk but that was just the misdirect before the tide turns, can't wait to see which animals will fight next

    • @MegaMrWrong

      Rex was too stupid to bite the neck, and instead opted to bite the Tusk. Lower IQ of the Rex, though most carnivores should instinctive bite the neck so it must be a stupid rex.
