How to Fight a T. rex (and Win)

Tyrannosaurus rex is held up as the most fearsome and ferocious terrestrial predator to ever live. It’s true — if you somehow found yourself in the presence of one, you would no longer be at the top of the food chain. But that doesn’t mean that you couldn’t encounter one of these mighty beasts and fight your way back up the chain. Here’s how could you fight a T. rex…and win.

In my latest episode of Because Science, I’m imaging a scenario where you encounter a living tyrant lizard and giving you advice on what to do next. Should you stand still? Can you outrun her? And if you really make to make your stand, what could you do to stand a chance against eight tons of creature that could eat your body weight in meat in a single bite?

I guess it all comes down to how willing you are to make sure that your life…uh…uh…finds a way.

After you watch the new episode, check out my last video on why you never want to land like a superhero, buy a Because Science shirt, mug, hat, or collectible pin, and follow me on Twitter or on Instagram to give me a suggestion for the next episode.
