What do you think about the theory that Tyranasaurus Rex may have been social and possibly even cared for their injured?

It sounds neat and at least plausible to me based on what ive read, but im FAR from being an expert, so it could be COMPLETELY wrong for all i know.

Sorry if this has been asked before, and thank you!

(Also btw ur blog is amazing and has reawakened a love for dinosaurs that i havn't felt for around 15 years, so thank you for that also!!)

I'm glad you like my blog! I recognize its a wee bit chaotic

Yeah, T. rex was probably social. Most birds are social in some way or another for at least a portion of their life cycle. But beyond that, we have fossil evidence of them moving in groups from footprints, and fossil sites with multiple individuals of different ages together. Cared for their injured, I'm not sure we have evidence for, but we also don't have evidence against, and altruism is evolutionarily beneficial (the selfish gene is the worst book ever written and I deeply detest richard dawkins).

Okay but you know whats really crazy about this? (Specifically the part about humans and wolves, but also, like. All of it) You know whats REALLY crazy about this to me? There is some evidence to suggest that the Tyrannosaurus Rex may have been a social animal! Also!! There have been some specimens found with old, healed injuries to their legs that would make it difficult to impossible to find food, suggesting that other tyrannosaurs may have helped them until they healed.

Basically what im saying is; it is possible that Tyranasaurus Rex may have also been aggressively social - so imagine, just imagine, what might have happened if they were indeed incredibly social, and had been around long enough to meet us.

Perhaps they would have seen a small bipedal animal that lives in groups and takes down prey many times its size and is stubborn enough to kill god, and thought "look at this tiny thing, its so cute! I wonder if it would pet me?"

Perhaps we would have looked at this massive, terrifying beast that hunts in packs and is capable of killing a human in a single bite and thought "its so beautiful! I wonder if it would let me pet it?

Perhaps our species would become freinds in a simular way to dogs or perhaps cats and humans. Perhaps we would have helped eachother hunt, or heal, or simply love and care.

Or perhaps our relationship would be more like the one we have with elephants today - two highly intelligent and social animal species who have a healthy respect for eachother, and who will help or hurt echother, depending on the individuals in question. Perhaps smetimes we would form bonds with eachother that outlast death, and othertimes we might be the ones to cause eachother's deaths. Perhaps the Tyranasaurs would even learn to recognize and diferentiate us based on our language

(All of this is speculation, of course, and i am no expert. Its worth noting that both the social T-Rex theory and the theory that they may have cared for eachother are just that; theory - but i still consider it worthwile to talk and think and imagine about it.)

(Also, here's another article, this one about Sue. It only has one line about the idea that Tyranasaurus Rex may have cared for their injured, but its a good read anyway.)

You and your brand new pal J'Ula try to unite all the houses by revealing J'mpok's villainy except Klingons would rather fight amongst each other than listen to reason. Also you visit a space strip club and fight a tyranasaurus rex!

Spinosaurus, Troodon, and Tyranasaurus Rex for the ask game! -M. Kaiba

Spinosaurus: Can your F/O swim? 

Yes (sorry I don’t have anything more to say in response to this one)

Troodon: How smart is your F/O?

He’s really clever, but he didn’t pay attention much while Ryou was attending school. So he knows a lot of stuff but can’t help with my homework.

Tyrannosaurus Rex: How do you support your F/O’s dreams/ambitions/goals? Or are they ones you don’t agree with?

Bakura’s currently trying to figure out what he’s going to do after spending three thousand years trying to get revenge. It’s a difficult process, and I’m trying my best to support him.
