    So you’re telling me I get free accommodation, free food, and it’s protected by a T-rex?

      Humana last weeks without food, you think you’re going to starvea 7 ton, cold blooded carrion eater to death in a mere month?

        7 ton seems pretty big and I think they were warm-blooded, I recon they’ll start starving before I run out of food. They may not be dead by day 30 but on those final nights of starving unconciousness you could probably stick it with the knife. Large birds of prey may only eat once per day but they still starve within a couple of days, and the bigger they are, the hungrier they get.

          Alligators and crocodiles can go months without eating. If needed, apparently, even 2 years. I wouldn’t count on a dinosaur being weak with hunger in a few weeks.

    I don’t think he would last long with our current oxygen levels, there is a reason why such giant creatures don’t exist anymore.

    On top of that like comments said if we just waited out he would starve to dead, even if we were not provided food.

    *Edit

    Well looks like I was wrong, thx for clarifying that out.

    Really though the reason for big animals not being as prevelant anymore was really the oxygen levels Idk where I got that from.

    But then it is really weird how the evolution meta didn’t evolve back to the huge beasts we see on books, someone said in the comments that it was due to the mammals success, if so it puts things really into perspective.

    Will the T-Rex be provided food? Because I could just wait it out. But if it’s provided food I’d just make sure it swallows the hunting knife with its meal and in theory it should cause some gastrointestinal leakage…

      It probably sucks down sharp bones no problem. But then, nobody really has any idea. It could play the ukulele for all we know.
