Not when you consider the size of the prey animals.
Quote from: Dietrich Six on April 02, 2016, 10:20:38 PMNot when you consider the size of the prey animals.For the T-Rex or the Alligator?Because a predator like the Tyrannosaurus that only eats bite-sized prey is not going to survive.
Point is the arms aren't essential equipment for slaying punk ass dinos.

He either,needs to slay larger dinosaurs (a feat rendered impossible by his short arms, poor vision and lackluster physical ability)orneeds to eat many bite-sized dinosaurs very frequently, which is a logistical nightmare given the speed of said dinos and the physical energy required to do so.Checkmate.
stegs are smaller dinosaurs that would still provide a substantial meal.
You also have to account for reptilian appetites, they can survive far longer on much smaller reserves of food.
They survived until the mass extinction, that's proof enough that they didn't have trouble wrecking other dinos.

QuoteThey survived until the mass extinction, that's proof enough that they didn't have trouble wrecking other dinos.Yeah... by being scavengers.
