What If Megalodon and T-Rex Met One-on-One

ladies and gentlemen welcome to the fight of the century in the left corner is the most famous dinosaur of all time tyrannosaurus rex let's call her tyriana she existed about 70 million years ago and was a true queen in today's north american territory no one could defeat her in a fair battle well except for that big meteor spoiler in the right corner is the nightmare of the sea megalodon this one's named megan this species went extinct about three million years ago but legends about it are still alive it's the biggest shark that ever existed and it was a super predator in its time both fighters are the highest predators in their category but what happens when they meet face to face to find out let's move on to the first category size the largest t-rex ever found was named scotty hey beam me up his hips were about 12 feet tall but if scotty straightened his back he would be about 42 feet tall it's like putting three giraffes on top of each other and if you wanted to pet this cute guy on the nose you'd have to stand on the shoulders of seven people to reach him even though our t-rex is not the biggest of its kind ty rihanna still remains one of the most dangerous but now let's look at the size of her opponent the size of the megalodon is still a controversial thing the fact is that the only remains of this ancient shark are teeth and vertebrae so scientists can only guess about the real size of this shark but even by the most modest calculations it's bigger than t-rex megalodon was about 50 feet long which is more than a school bus it was not only the most massive shark that ever existed but also the largest fish in the world its closest competitor in size was a modern whale shark but he loses to megalodon by as much as 10 feet so in the size category megalodon left no chance for t-rex the first point goes to the giant shark megan the next class is weight let's start with megan usually adults had a weight of 27 to 59 tons this is like three heavy lift transport helicopters or almost like a tank actually some houses have less weight than megalodon its only competitor in the sea is the blue whale what does t-rex answer to this although it's an incredibly large predator the largest individual rex's could only reach a weight of 14 tons that's relatively small for its size t-rex could be terribly slow and clumsy but some of its bones are hollow this is what reduces its total weight thanks to this she could be much faster and more agile without losing strength but we see that ty rihanna loses to megan in weight by at least three times so another point goes to meglodon next up is speed and agility according to different estimates tyrannosaurus rex could run at speeds of 11 to 45 miles per hour for comparison the speed of the fastest human on earth is only 16 miles per hour so you do the math yep we wouldn't have had a chance to escape having lunch with sorry being lunch for t-rex but what about maneuverability tyriana seems to be big and clumsy however t-rex had excellent balance because of her massive tail and could turn and change direction very quickly and look at her legs she clearly doesn't miss a leg day now let's look at the second fighter megan scientists have found that the megalodon could swim at a speed of about 11 miles per hour this was enough to become an ultimate predator but it was inferior to many other species for example the fastest sea creature is the sailfish it can reach 68 miles per hour about 100 feet per second besides because of its heavy weight it could not quickly turn or maneuver imagine a giant truck needing to make a u-turn so when she attacked she had only one chance to strike if she missed she went for a second lap this gave her prey enough time to run away in this round t-rex finally gets her first score but we're still two to one in favor of megan the megalodon you okay moving on to the next category fighting skills megalodon was definitely the best predator in the aquatic world not only because of its size and mass but also because of its intelligence scientists have found traces of megalodon's teeth on the remains of whales they concluded that megan aimed at her prey's weakest spots and knew where the vital organs were located other remains of megalodon's victims had many bone fractures this suggests that she was not shy about using her weight as a ram such a 50 ton ram could easily break through concrete walls some individuals prefer to attack the whale's tails and fins first to immobilize them then attack a defenseless victim this makes the megalodon an excellent strategist megalodon's prey just didn't have a chance so this shark had two main techniques ram and ultimate bite but the arsenal of t-rex is much broader like a megalodon it had the strongest bite of its kind and also used a ram although its weight was not as big as meg's tyriana could reach a much higher speed and her impact was much more powerful than that of a shark on top of that she could strike with her tail and her legs had a tremendous force and could hold the victim no doubt the t-rex arsenal is much more diverse so this point goes to the dinosaur now it's time for the bonus category the prize of audience sympathies t-rex is undoubtedly the most famous dinosaur of all time it's appeared in movies tv series cartoons video games and even postage stamps and memes and its skeleton in the american museum of natural history is the most recognizable in the world but there are also many myths about it for example the idea that it could only see moving objects in a famous movie the heroes escape from a t-rex by just remaining frozen in place well first of all a dinosaur could easily smell them secondly t-rex had an excellent vision it was actually 13 times clearer than humans megalodon on the other hand has the reputation of a real devil a scene where megalodon destroys a fishing boat is still a cult favorite and frightening for viewers worldwide but because there were so few remains left of it we can only guess what it really looked like so instagram t-rex would be much more popular t-rex takes this point let's move forward the score is 2-2 so the results of the battle will be decided by the last round combat tools tyrannosaurus rex had the most powerful bite force of its kind it could easily break dinosaur bones much bigger than themselves but the power of their bite was limited by their teeth they had a weak layer of enamel and were quite brittle though they rebuilt quite quickly her front hands have sharp claws but this weapon is mostly useless because of the structure of these arms megalodon has only one dangerous tool it's teeth but they can be worth everything that t-rex has the teeth of the megalodon were triangular in shape and were over seven inches long these are the most massive teeth that have ever existed and it had 250 teeth arranged in five rows each of them was incredibly sharp and could penetrate through the thick skin of whales also the megalodon's jaw was six and a half feet wide an adult person could easily fit in there but not for long because megalodon had one of the strongest bites on our planet the gong sounds and it means it's time to start the fight these two predators meet on the coast of north america megalodons mostly lived in deep waters but sometimes they hunted near beaches t-rex was also in this area and now these two predators have come face to face in shallow water the megalodon becomes even slower and t-rex easily evades its bite but it's difficult for her to attack the shark because tyriana's body size does not allow her to dive underwater t-rex decides to retreat to even shallower water megan the megalodon drops trying to bite the dinosaur and just rams her with all of her 50 ton weight the t-rex loses her balance and falls down now nothing can help her uh-oh so megalodon proves again that she was the ultimate predator and could easily defeat the world's most famous dinosaur
