Could A Mammoth defeat A Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Mammoth was once one of the largest elephant in the world. It was incredibly large and weighed a lot. According to the fossil analysis of archaeologists, the largest known mammoth was about 6 meters long, 3 meters tall, and weighs up to 12 tons, which is one of the largest mammals in the world. And compared with today’s elephant, mammoth teeth are unusually large, an adult male mammoth’s incisor is about 1.5 meters, The power with this ferocious incisor, so that mammoth has a huge lethality.

If humans successfully invent a time machine in the future, travel to the Pleistocene when mammoths lived, capture a mammoth, and send it to the age of dinosaurs, will it be able to survive in the era of Cretaceous? Faced with the overlord of the dinosaur age – Tyrannosaurus Rex, how much chance does it have?

Size – It is 11.5 to 14.7 meters long. The average hip height is about 4 meters. The highest hip can reach about 5.2 meters, and the highest head is nearly 6 meters.

Weight – The average weight is about 9 tons (ecological average is about 7.6 tons), the heaviest is 14.85 tons, and the maximum head length is about 1.55 meter.

Bite Force – The maximum bite force is 6-8 tons.

Speed – 20KM/H

Teeth – Serrated, railroad spike shaped teeth, continually replaced, largest teeth 12 inches (30cm) and made to crush bone.

Arms – 2 small arms / claws, couldn’t reach its mouth, two-fingered “hands” very muscular for their size, about 2.5 feet / 0.7m.

Tail – Long, stiff tail perpendicular to the ground for balance. The T-Rex’s tail was powerful and pointed.

Let’s analyze its size first. The size of the mammoth in the dinosaur groups also belongs to the giant, larger than it is basically herbivorous dinosaurs. Herbivorous dinosaurs character is mild, and fighting strength is not strong, is not the mammoth’s opponent. And among carnivorous dinosaurs, perhaps only Tyrannosaurus Rex could completely overpower mammoths.

The weight of Tyrannosaurus Rex was lower than the mammoth, with an average weight of only about 9 tons, but Tyrannosaurus Rex was 6 meters tall and 12 meters long. Moreover, Tyrannosaurus Rex had the flexibility and speed that mammoths did not have. Meanwhile, Tyrannosaurus Rex had an powerful bite force, which could have the force of 12 tons of Newton. As long as the Tyrannosaurus Rex is not hit by the mammoth’s incisor, basically the mammoth has no chance of winning, as long as the Tyrannosaurus Rex bites, the mammoth will die.

In addition to Tyrannosaurus Rex, the other most carnivorous dinosaurs will not pose a threat to mammoths. Mammoth with thick fur, large body size, it is estimated that few dinosaurs will provoke, it looks afraid. And mammoths are herds that move in groups, and most carnivorous dinosaurs are not strong enough to hunt a powerful mammoth herd. Unless one of the mammoths was alone and surrounded by a large number of carnivorous dinosaurs, there was a chance that the mammoths would be killed down by dinosaurs smaller than Tyrannosaurus Rex.

If Tyrannosaurus rex had taken advantage of its environment and hunting skills when hunting mammoth, it wouldn’t have been difficult to kill it. On the other hand, if Tyrannosaurus Rex confronts a mammoth head-on, without any skill, then if the mammoth’s tusk spike impels the Tyrannosaurus Rex, its combat effectiveness will be reduced. So if they go to war, it’s a 50-50 win.

Conclusion

To sum up, if mammoths lived in the age of dinosaurs, they could still survive. Mammoths are social animals, and mammoth groups add to the deterrent, even Tyrannosaurus Rex does not dare to easily provoke. The large prehistoric giants had their own territorial ranges and rarely crossed over to hunt, and some of the migrating carnivorous dinosaurs themselves were no match for the size and impact of mammoths. Therefore, mammoths would have lived comfortably in the age of dinosaurs regardless of environmental factors. Perhaps, they will shed their fur in advance because of the hot and humid climate, become a new species.
