Wolves would stand no chance. According to Wikipedia a T-rex would be like 40 feet tall and 14,000 pounds. The largest wolf is about 4 feet tall weighing 175 pounds.

The Trex is 10 times taller and 80 times heavier than the wolf.
You guys watch transformers? Cause imagine yourself fighting optimums prime. How many of you would it take to kill something that size even if it did have short arms.


Optimus Prime is intelligent and agile.

Ten men could beat a 60-foot-tall rock to bits given the time.

You think a T-rex isn't agile? Of course it is.

Can you clarify the question a bit more... are the wolves and the T-rex locked in an arena or something?

Because otherwise to kill a T-rex they would have to catch it first. If wolves did attack the T-rex would obviously just run away. Yes wolves are faster at a sprint but they can't maintain that for long periods of time. The T-rex would be able to move at a considerable pace for a long time.

Say they are in an arena it would still take a ridiculous amount of wolves to kill the T-rex. Even then they aren't going to be able to do much damage.

A wolf jaw would be utterly useless in an attack. The T-rex won't be stationary long enough for the wolf to get a grip and even if it could somehow open wide enough to bite something the jaw of a wolf is not powerful enough to do any damage.
Wolves only have their jaws to attack with, without any claws or secondary means of attack they would be utterly useless against the T-rex.
If the T-rex can't run away then the wolf can't either.
50 wolves in an arena with a T-rex would be a massacre. The rex would annihilate all of them. It would be just like Optimus prime vs 50 men as someone suggested.

Not enough people have lol'd at this post to do it justice.

4 meters tall is too big for the wolves to take down using their conventional methods. Ignoring guerilla tactics (no one likes a camper), from my research* it takes at least 40 wolves.

T-Rex can only do real damage by 1. chomping, 2. stomping. Wolves can run from both. Wolves will win eventually. T-Rex can't keep it up forever.

Some people are forgetting that the T-Rex is mostly likely pretty dumb, despite the huge size, while the wolves are smart. Its like one huge Forrest Gump vs a shitload of tiny Jack Bauers or Houses or some really smart guy. Eventually giant Gump is gonna fall, one way or the other.

ROFL tell me you are joking...cuz if you are serious about that, you are beyond uneducated.

The T-rex could take down other large dinosaurs, and could handle ones like the raptor, but you assume that 3 little wolves would be capable of taking it down? It's 20ft tall, the only thing they are going to be biting at are his feet. How do you even know if their bite is capable of breaking through his skin, especially his leg / feet skin which would be even tougher than his softer areas due to calluses(his feet crush small trees as he walks).

The strength of his tail alone would probably kill every wolf standing in it's path. The dinosaur was 7tons, I think throwing that weight around would surely kill however many wolves were gathered. I don't think he would try and use his jaws on them, due to his small arms and clunky size, but all the thing would have to do is step on them, and they would smoosh like goo.


dood.

he may be 40ft tall, but he has a brain a size of a shrunken testicle. wolfs are smart as dogs. and did you see the size of t-rex hands, he can't even masterbate?

6-7 wolfes would destroy them in 20 seconds.

compare that to archon vs 7 zerglings with proper micro.

Problem with your brain argument is that a T-rex doesn't need a huge brain. He just needs the part that drives him to kill.

LOL 6-7 wolves in 20 seconds. You must be joking.

According to wiki and other sources through Google, a T-rex is not 40 feet tall, thats its length. A trex is only 20ft tall at max since its roughly 13ft at the hip. The t-rex skin is said to be similar to that of the alligators but more bumpy and probably somewhat tougher as well. According to sources and google conversion, a t-rex can weight up to 6168 kilograms while the heaviest recording wolf only weights at 79kg. This gives the trex about 70 times the weight of the largest wolf recorded and an average wolf is only about 36kg. It is recorded that the biting capacity of a wolf is 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of pressure per square inch. Lets assume thats the average and give the largest wolves as heavy as the one above 1800 PSI. After all of this, I suspect that a wolfbite will do little to no pain to a t-rex, given that it can acctualy bite it at full force. The legs of the t-rex is so big that the wolves might not be able to apply full pressure and even if it could, the T-rex probably experience more pain and damage by steppign on rocks on a daily basis compared to a few bites.

Another thing that has been stated in this thread is the wolve's intelligent and the T-rex lack of. If the wolves are as smart as any of you said then it wont even try attacking the t-rex even driven by hunger. Assuming that it does, a starving wolf wont be able to diss out the maximum amount of damage that it normally would have and this plays more into the t-rex favor.

Research has suggested the T-rex was a scavenger, and that it had no way of moving quickly, given its weight on its legs.

It therefore, as far as science can tell us, is not agile.

Take into account:
1. the health and regeneration rate of the lone T-Rex

2. the number of wolves, their health and regeneration rates, and their attack speed

3. the attack speed and damage of the T-Rex

4. the size of the T-Rex in comparison with the sizes of the wolves, and how many wolves can surround the T-Rex at once

5. Upgrades, including weapon, shields, armor, metabolic boost, adrenal glands

Real question to me: is the Trex smart enough to just step on the wolves to kill them? Because if it is, it could take a shitload more wolves on than it could just tail sweeping and biting and waving its little human arms

You are wrong good sir. T rex to fast to be attacked? your saying a t rex is comparable to a mutalisk. and last i checked T-rex does not have wings. T-rex would have to be stationary while its killing a target (no moving and chewing allowed, hello shrunken testies for a brain ) During this time the rest of the wolves 30+ are jumping clawing tearing flesh from the T-Rex, and it was posted earlier that wolves teeth can pierce the skin of a T-rex. After a short while a tendon will have been damaged enough to make the T-rex immobile, and then short work to finish him off.

The more pointless an argument the higher the ignorance among the people arguing it.

50 wolves would easily kill a t-rex
they would climb up it's back, or it would fall over / get knocked over
and then GG for sure


think about it. the wolves could just run around the t-rex's feet and it's obviously going to trip and fall

u know, most paleontologists don't even think t-rex was a hunter, but rather a scavenger

it is suspected to have had poor vision
it has worthless little arms in front
it wasn't that fast
it had tiny stupid brain

that many wolves would own it


it only has 2 legs....
it can't bite where it's legs are

all the wolves have to do is go up to it's legs and bite them

i dunno where ur getting ur info
t-rex was not like 40 feet tall

even wikipedia says it's 13ft tall at the hips, so probably less than 20 feet total (given that it is like 40 feet long)
