I just – knew.

Well, that accounts for the complete and utter lack
of any maastrichtian stegosauridae, I s’pose…

TouchÃ©, Greg.
And the number of the beast was…?
Ate!

Now stop, this is getting silly.

Is anything known about how bite forces vary
among the diverse tyrannosaurid species?
Alioramus, say, or Zhuchengtyrannus?

Rick: Yes. T. rex was the Chuck Norris of the Cretaceous. It could bite through time!

T-rex used his tremendous biteforce to kill STEGOSAURUS???
Interesting indeed.

African elephant or Asian elephant? The size can vary pretty dramatically between the two.
