Not 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.

Alligators generally attack prey that are as large or larger than themselves.

Pretty sure T-rexes weren't fucking with anything bigger than them. A T-rex mouth is pretty damn big, plus the large size of the head could easily pin most dinosaurs.

Point is the arms aren't essential equipment for slaying punk ass dinos.

And my point is, that if the T-Rex settles for bit-sized dinos, he isn't going to survive. He either,

  • needs to slay larger dinosaurs (a feat rendered impossible by his short arms, poor vision and lackluster physical ability)
or
  • needs 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.

I said larger than himself, 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.

Lackluster physical ability is a theory, as is the poor eyesight angle. While I'm no expert in this it clearly isn't important becaaauussse...

They survived until the mass extinction, that's proof enough that they didn't have trouble wrecking other dinos.

Checkmate.

A Stegosaurus would put up a considerable fight, and without the ability to restrain one with your arms while chomping down, you're going to either die or get seriously injured.

Fair point.

Yeah... by being scavengers.

Stegs would get hella rekt. You don't have to hold something down with your arms to kill it. Considering the size of t-rex jaws it would be quite simple to administer a killing blow.

They would have a seriously hard time being scavengers. Most other predators at the time killed much smaller prey that wouldn't sustain such a large creature.

Apex predator, ALL HAIL THE KING BABY!

I can't just pick one, I got a ton of favorite dinosaurs.

I fucking love learning about them. It just blows my mind that these things aren't just movie monsters, they were actually here, on this planet, millions of years ago. Every time I think about the fact that things like dinosaurs used to walk around the Earth I just get enthusiastic about it.

But I love:

Baryonyx
Therizinosaurus
Deinonychus
Spinosaurus
Carnotaurus
Dilophosaurus

I could go on. Dinosaurs are fascinating as hell.

Nah, my main man was ballin. I don't buy the poor vision theory, this dude was built to destroy.

Even without the poor vision, those arms are a literal handicap.

Face it, the T-Rex was garbo.
Damn Snakey, you surely are an A-GRADE UNDER FAG.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
The T-Rex voiced by John Goodman

Most overrated dinosaur of all time. Literally the Charizard of prehistory.
