Humans used to hunt mammoths, and these fuckers don't even have a thick layer of fur armor. We used to hunt mammoths, because we were so fucking good at it we killed every last one of them.

I'm using my knife and making an atlatl, some spears smeared in shit, and I'm going hunting. Every time this bastard goes to sleep, he's getting a spear with a side of gangrene lodged in him. Fucker's missed out on 60 million years of techtree development, and has no reply to ranged strikes.

    It's always funny when people overestimate their own ability to fight an animal.

    Yeah bro i could fight a gorilla.

    I don't think i could, honestly, but spears and shit from the hut would be my best guess. Or wait until it sleeps and ram it through the eye with full force and run like a motherfucker. In movies they often spear big animals and they live for a long time and cause havoc, i would assume a spear through the brain isn't good no matter the size.

    There's a fossil of a t-rex that's believed to have been very old when it died (like, 28ish). It had evidence of injuries all over it, including having been stabbed through the back of the skull and into the brain by another T-rex's tooth (the scar was old and healed, so it survived being bitten in the brain)

    I wouldn't bet on anything but a long drawn out campaign against it

    The real problem is we dont know what a live T-Rex looks like. It could have fur or feathers, it could have wings or wild talons on its hands. What are the odds their arms are as useless as we think they are for real?

    I don't care if is has feathers, or long grabby arms, I'm waiting for it to fall asleep, and chucking a spear at it, and running, every single time until it dies of bloodloss, gangrene, or exhaustion.

    Does the T Rex even understand what I did? Ranged attacks didn't exist for 65 million years after it went extinct, does something that evolved to hunt slow, armored herbivores have any response to ranged hit and runs? The many species of megafauna humans hunted to extinction before the invention of writing suggests no.
