not true take a wild lion and let it loose and it would survive without humans help, there are deer and rabbits and such that it would have enought to eat

What about the enviornment, predators, climate and diseases?

I understand what you mean, Tyrannis, obviously the same evolution can work in other environments, as long as these new environments have the vital resources that the species in question requires.

exactly, I mean obviously you wouldn't plunk a lion into Siberia (well maybe you could, just special selection would be needed on the indiviuals taken) most animals would are pretty adaptable, there are Japanese Snow Maquaces (I got that wrong) living in Texas in the wild and they're doing fine

True... but not all the time...

hence why I said most, not all

Maybe like the Komodo Dragon, the T-Rex's jaws could have been host to many kinds of deadly bacteria. The Rex could then use its extraordinary sense of smell to track its dying prey, after all they do make the point of it being built for walking long distances. Another theory I came up with is that T-Rex was, to a certain point, a social animal. The young, who are well built for fast running, could chase the prey into the open jaws of the adults. Or it could be as simple as Rex being just as faster or faster than the animals it preyed upon. I'm sure a 40 foot Edmontosaurus isn't to terribly light on its feet either.

You came up with all that, eh? /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Hm, interesting points made

If I'm not mistaken I saw that on When Dinosaurs roamed America
