Could a dinosaur breathe today?

Yes. Given the recent studies as described here and here show that oxygen levels were actually lower (10 to 15% as compared to 21% today). So breathing would be the least of dinosaurs problem. Dinosaurs might then be subject to oxygen toxicity effects, which can be lethal.

Would we survive if dinosaurs were still alive?

In fact, we might never have seen them at all

It's likely that, with a preponderance of dinosaurs remaining on our planet, humans and many other mammals would not have had the chance to evolve into existence. “Even though mammals thrived in the shadow of the dinosaurs, they did so at small size,” writes Switek.

What If T-Rex Were Still Alive?



What was at Rex's top speed?

rex clocked a top speed of 30 miles per hour and a walking speed between 4.5 and 6.7 miles per hour, reports Jeff Spry for SYFY Wire. Now, researchers from the Netherlands have used computer reconstructions of a T. rex tail to estimate that the walking speed of the carnivore was much slower.

Who wins Spino or T. rex?

Yet, the T-Rex had a massive neck that the Spinosaurus wasn't going to break with its bite power. The T-Rex could thrash free and clamp down on the Spinosaurus. With all that power and the 12-inch teeth, the most likely outcome is that the T-Rex kills Spinosaurus.

What killed the T. rex?

rex went extinct during the K-T mass extinction, about 65 million years ago. This extinction killed the remaining dinosaurs (not just T. rex) and many other animal and plant groups. This extinction was probably caused by a catastrophic asteroid colliding with Earth.

Can dinosaurs come back to life?

Unfortunately, dinosaurs probably cannot be cloned and brought back to life. Their DNA is too old since dinosaurs have been extinct for over 65 million years. Any genetic information is not likely to survive for one million years, so the dinosaurs are simply too old to be cloned.

What dinosaur is still alive?

In an evolutionary sense, birds are a living group of dinosaurs because they descended from the common ancestor of all dinosaurs. Other than birds, however, there is no scientific evidence that any dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus, or Triceratops, are still alive.

How did T. rex Hunt if it couldn't run?

rex's bones would snap because its legs would buckle under its weight. Unable to break into a sprint, it must have stepped its way through the Cretaceous Period. But that doesn't mean a 7-ton T. rex, at a full-bore walk, was anything less than terrifying.

Can T. rex see movement?

The Tyrannous Rex not only could see just fine, whether the object was moving or non-moving (which helps one not run into things), there's also quite a bit of evidence that the T-Rex's sight was extremely good, very possibly better than modern-day hawks and eagles.
