I can not really see a wolf pack inflicting much damage to a T-Rex. maybe a smaller dino would have been a better pick. Maybe some raptor or wolf action.

lol t-rex would barrel roll an infinite amount of wolves to death.
wolves would have a chance if the whole pack harassed the rex for a really long time until the rex dies of exhaustion

Siberian tigers depress wolf numbers ...

I guess it could only be worse with a T-Rex.

How many ants would it take to kill a human?

There comes a point where the size difference will more than make up for any numbers advantage within reason, and I believe the t-rex - wolf size disparity is within that range, so my answer is an obscenely large number of wolves.

have you seen the recent indiana jones? ants rocked humans.

Can a wolf open its jaws to 180 degrees? Because unless it's biting the toes, the leg should be large enough that it would be like biting a wall.

Also, if the wolves can go for the legs, the dinosaur can step on them or kick them. They weight several tons. What happens when people get hit by cars at slow speeds? Trying to trip a t-rex, so the wolves whose best advantage is being more agile, are going to use a tactic that's guaranteed to downsize their numbers? They're going to trip over something one hundredth of their weight?

And assuming the trex fought other dinosaurs, it's used to fighting several ton dinosaurs with several feet long horns, or claws. I doubt they would suffer serious wounds from dinky little inch long claws barely scratching the surface of the skin.

I doubt any number of wolves could kill it in under an hour. If they were to strategize, they could wait until it falls asleep or deny it food until it collapses.

This argument is about as intellectually stimulating as the question of how many unarmed midgets it'd take to kill an adult male lion.

The answer, by the way, is more than 42.

Oh really? I had no idea! Now, let's have a stimulating discussion on the number of dung beetles needed to kill a guinea pig.

how many wolves does it take for the T-rex's stomach to rupture

What is the T Rex has really thick skin and the wolf bites are not strong enough to damage it?

Plus, wolves are probably too small to hit any vital organs of the T Rax, they can just blister its feet, leg and tail.

Its like a human being going against a horde of Chiwawas, I guess.

Meanwhile, I bite of T-Rex with those HUGE HUGE teeth and jaw would tear apart any wolf in a single bite.
I would say, its unbeatable. Lions could take the call maybe...

T-rex could choke on wolf bodies. I mean fifty wolves is alot, plus he's dumb, constantly harrassed, probably dog tired, more injured by his own frantic evasion procedures, and This would drag out for days.

Even if the dogs can't hurt him, they will keep annoy him to death. Its really like husband v wife.

Or like white-fang is about. game over.

think of this as vultures vs ultras micro. 1 could do it, but its easier for many. plus you might run out of fuel.

Uh ya no wolves don't even have any weaponry so clearly your argument is invalid.

The wolves will probably attack the legs and after few bites, i'm pretty sure the t-rex's legs will wear out and fall and then bunch of wolves would just pounce the t-rex and rape the s*** out of it. So about a pack of 30 wolves should do. Like 10 for the legs and rest to gang bang the t-rex when its down.

It also depends on how strong t-rex's hide i guess. If its really sturdy, then no amount of wolves would be able to bite through it, well if you get couple thousand wolves you're bound to take down the t-rex.

The problem with t-rex is that most of its weight is rested upon its two legs. Its like how tall people like yao ming gets injured often, its a lot of pressure that these two legs are experiencing, so if it becomes slightly injured, it would prove troublesome to the t-rex.

I kind of doubt that a wolf could even penetrate the T-Rex's leathery hide... If you've ever seen Planet Earth there's this scene where like 20 lions take down a baby elephant (pretty dope... everyone needs to see this btw) but it takes a helluva effort just because the lions can't break through the elephant's hide. Wolves have less powerful jaws than lions and I imagine a T-Rex would have a much tougher hide than an elephant so I'd have to say: T-Rex > any # of wolves... QED.

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

This isn't a reasonable argument simply because it ruins all of the awesome T-Rex fight scenes going on in my head right now.

As someone previously mentioned, chances are that wolves would have never attacked a T-rex (even if they lived in the same time period). Animals generally avoid attacking creatures larger then them unless they are in sufficient numbers and I do not think a normal wolf pack has enough wolves to take on something as big as a T-rex.

As for the predator vs. scavenger thing, the T-rex was both. Infact, active predators generally do not mind scavenging or even stealing food from other predators if they have the chance. The T-rex`s size also worked in it`s favour as it could intimidate smaller predators from the prey they killed.
