Depends if the T-rax was piloting a fighter jet.

All the wolves would need to do is inflict enough damage to rip or at least disable the tendon in the ankle, once thats down the animal is crippled. Also, since wolves primarily hunt in the thick of the woods, the T-rexs mobility would be severely hampered. I'd say about a dozen could get the job done

Forgive me if this sounds too stupid of a question but I've recently gotten into a serious argument with my friend over my favorite animal...

I've always liked wolves. No question about it, they are my favorite animal. But my friend, who's a huge dinosaur lover, keeps saying that any decent dino could kill an infinite number of wolves. I then said without thinking first that I thought 50 wolves would easily be able to take down a Tyrannosaurus rex. He promptly laughed at my claim and dismissed it as balony. Being the wolf enthusiast I am, I promptly started looking on the internet to proove him wrong. Since I have no scientific background, I didn't have much luck. Although I found reports of starving wolves killing brown bears in the winter for food in Siberia, even I have to admit that taking down a brown bear is one thing and taking down a T-rex is quite another. So could anyone with some scientific knowledge settle our debate as to how many wolves it would take to kill a T-rex?

50 wolves is a lot... and I've heard of things like rats killing large animals, even people, so it's not inconceivable

ok the only way to solve the matter is if someone codes a video game (hell you could even change a few minor things and make the 'how many 3 year olds can you take?' game) The t-rex goes in the middle and there are 30 or so wolves around. The t-rex roars or does some kind of signalling motion every time (for like .1/.2 seconds) before it attacks. So your job is to just cycle through all the wolves going (unit switch, attack) over and over. So like football games you can press the unit select button or another button and it will automatically select the unit closest to the football/t-rex mouth and then you can pull back and try to dodge or whatever. So like the t-rex will take X amount of bites/scratches before he dies (say like 2000) which would be something like 60-80 bites from each wolf. It'd be hard, it'd also be fun. So once you beat the regular mode, then you unlock harder challenges. Less wolves, or more HP t-rex, or cornered t-rex who eats 2-3 wolves stacked on a bite. Then custom mode where you can create simple maps and change other previously mentioned factors to desired challenge.

So who knows how to code?
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

welcome back CM

Some one bring this topic to national geographic!! so then can create a CG about 30 wolves vs a Rex!
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

to answer your question seriously, if you consider the sheer size difference between the animals:

T-Rex - 45 feet tall, weighs 14,000 lbs
Wolf - 3 feet tall, 100 lbs

the tyrannosaur would just stomp them into the ground. it's certainly more than 50, the T-Rex would kill dozens of them with every stomp/kick/mouth bite. the wolves won't really even damage him. obviously, a T-Rex can't take infinite wolves. at some point, the T-Rex will lose, whether from exhaustion or old age. but assuming the T-Rex doesn't have to eat or sleep, and the wolves can't stack on top of each other in some sort of giant dense wolf wall, a T-Rex can kill wolves all day.

if the T-Rex's energy is finite, then the answer is as many wolves as a T-Rex can kill without physically dying of exhaustion, which is a hell of a lot more than 50.

and if he gets bored he can mix it up with those gimpy little arms

"The biceps brachii muscle of a full-grown Tyrannosaurus rex was capable of lifting 199 kilograms (439 lb) by itself;"

catapult some back over his head, whatever.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Ok, on some TV show on Nat Geo or Discovery, I heard that while T-Rex's can sprint very fast, they have very little maneuverability side to side, and considering how agile and intelligent wolves are in comparison, it would actually be really hard for a T-Rex to score a blow on a wolf. Also, a wolf's teeth would be able to penetrate a T-Rex hide. Perhaps not a lot, but enough for blood to start coming out. I think maybe as few as 5 wolves would be able to do it.

Realistically though, a single wolf bite could probably impart enough modern bacteria to give the T-Rex and it's prehistoric immune system a fatal infection.
