The largest teeth in the mouth of the T rex. are about 12 inches (30 cm) in diagonal length, and sat in a jaw of about 4 feet (1.2 m) in length. A 2017 study calculated that its jaw could produce a bite of up to 34,522 newtons with its up to 60 teeth - no match for a Megalodon bite.
Did Megalodon eat dinosaurs or people? Fortunately, the Megalodon went extinct recently enough that we have excellent fossil remains to show us exactly what it ate - and its prey should not surprise you: It ate mostly large marine mammals such as whales, seals, dolphins and dugongs, and large fish and turtles.
8. Megalodon and T-Rex lived during the same time period. FICTION T-Rex lived around 65 million years ago. Megalodon live about 17-2 million years ago.
Its hunting list even includes the 30-meter-long Argentinosaurus, Seismosaurus and other super-large dinosaurs. One can imagine its powerfulness. In addition, the Giganotosaurus likes to move out in groups, so he can be regarded as a powerful opponent of the Tyrannosaurus rex.
In a hypothetical scenario where the megalodon and T. rex were to meet on land, it appears that the dinosaur would be at a disadvantage. The megalodon surpasses the T. rex in size and has the ability to crush through strong bones.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex might be known for its ferocious bite, but now scientists say a caiman that lived eight million years ago, had a bite TWICE as powerful.
A Livyatan would win a fight against a megalodon. The Livyatan has the size and speed advantage, bigger teeth, and it has endurance to last through a long fight.
The researchers determined that the dinosaur was a diplodocid sauropod, placing it among the most iconic dinosaurs and the longest creatures ever to walk the earth. Members of the family Diplodocidae (meaning “Double Beams”) include Diplodocus and Supersaurus, which may have reached lengths up to 112 feet.
Meet the Spinosaurus – The Largest Carnivorous Dinosaur in History (Bigger than a T-Rex!)
So who are T-rex's natural enemies? As we all know, Tyrannosaurus Rex is the strongest overlord on land at the end of Cretaceous, so they basically have no natural enemies, and the upper and Cang dragons in the ocean may also be more powerful, but just like the sharks and elephants now, they will not meet at all.
'No. It's definitely not alive in the deep oceans, despite what the Discovery Channel has said in the past,' notes Emma. 'If an animal as big as megalodon still lived in the oceans we would know about it.'
Megalodon was a long-lived animal. Scientists think that it lived for more than 100 years!
Megalodons are extinct. They died out about 3.5 million years ago. And scientists know this because, once again, they looked at the teeth.
Mature megalodons likely did not have any predators, but newly birthed and juvenile individuals may have been vulnerable to other large predatory sharks, such as great hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna mokarran), whose ranges and nurseries are thought to have overlapped with those of megalodon from the end of the Miocene and ...
But Trevorrow gave the T. rex a low-key intriguing story arc in “Dominion”: In the movie's prologue released online in November and set 65 million years ago, the T. rex is murdered by a Giganotosaurus and a mosquito drinks its blood – the same mosquito found in amber and whose dino DNA is used to clone the T.
Ulughbegasaurus out-hunted the predecessors of T. rex around 90 million years ago, before the so-called king of the dinosaurs ever existed.
When they weren't chasing down prey or scavenging for food, new evidence suggests that Tyrannosaurus Rex went for lengthy dips. Researchers believe the tiny- armed carnivores were surprisingly adept swimmers!
Tyrannosaurus Rex was undoubtedly among the most lethal predators to have ever existed. Although no longer considered the largest meat-eating dinosaur, it is still regarded as the strongest animal in many ways. It could bite with a force ranging from 9 to over 23 tonnes.
The mosquito is the single deadliest, most dangerous animal in the world and also one of the smallest. Mosquitoes are estimated to cause between 750,000 and one million human deaths per year.
Megalodon, an ancient shark, had such a huge appetite that it could have swallowed an 8-metre-long whale in just a few bites, according to the first 3D reconstruction of the predator. This new description upgrades its already gigantic size to at least 16 metres long and a weight of 61.5 tonnes.
This is how they got most of their food in prehistoric times. But megalodons are believed to have been wiped out because of food competition with great white sharks. The fact that both megalodons and great white sharks could swallow whole their prey led to direct competition between them.
It is reputed to be one of the most vicious predators in history. Megalodon easily dwarfed the great white shark in size by about two or three times. Surely, after examining the physical characteristics of the species, we can understand why it earned such a terrible reputation.
