You can infer a lot forensically from a skeleton. A giant carnivore with a head bigger than a human, if it spotted you, would probably trot over to you like a seagull going for a dorito and snap you up. I could go on, e.g. the diet of these animals and the injuries we see they sustain. They lived a more violent lifestyle than most contemporary animals.

>>5095533
Depends on which cheeks you're talking about. I think their feathers may also be quite stiff, so it could be hard to get past them for a proper cheek pinch.

>>5095552
Would you say the same about orcas too if they were extinct?

The fossil records shows T. rex was actually a pretty violent animal that engaged in ritualistic combat with members of its own species on a regular basis, despite what paleotwitter wants you to believe

>>5095533
Reptiles are animals of fire. Very risky, darwinistic and able to take a lot of shit. Mammals are animals of earth. More rationalistic and preferring to stay away from danger

>>5095533
Orcas are notoriously violent to people in the wild and go out of their way to destroy or flip over innocent boaters. Stop spreading misinformation.

You can tell a lot forensically about an animal from just its skeleton. If I had modern whales as a frame of reference the way I have crocodiles and seagulls as a modern reference for t-rex I would say there’s no way I’m getting into the water with that fucking thing it will kill you even if it MIGHT not, idk what you’re trying to imply. You also ignored what I said about forensically establishing what the animal’s behavior might be like, and t-rex skeletons are riddled with triceratops horn jabs and bites from other rexes and everything else. So no they were not tranny gud bois like anti-reality leftist pedos pretend e.g. prehistoric planet. The way birds feed or the way crocs feed if a t-rex spotted you youare fucked it’s going to come over and choke you right down like an egret grabbing a fish.

>>5095573
Ong dino feathers definitely big tuff tho.

>>5095533
If it were hostile, I'd simply circle around to stay behind it until it became tired and collapsed, then pinch its cheeks anyways
Really, what could a T-Rex do about it?

>>5095673
What about the tail whip? Do you think your timing is good enoigh to jump over it?

I wonder if you raised a T. Rex from hatchling, if it would continue to treat you as it's parent even when it drastically outgrew you

They had extended childhoods and dedicated parenting so the idea of acting as the surrogate parent to one isn't all that outlandish

>>5095707
You would probably need to breastfeed the dino.

>>5095707
This could work you could do this with literally any animal but the possibility and probablity will always remain that this thing will probably snap you up one day like Tilikum or Sigmund Frued’s tigers, etc.

>No seriously though, how do we know giant theropods like T-Rex would be hostile?
>Why do we make assumptions about extinct animals' temperament?

Because it's a giant bird lizard. It's a literal combination of two of the most autistic, hyper-aggressive, sociopathic, single-minded, "I've evolved intelligence only so I can be more devious", groups of animals. The T-Rex is probably "kind" and "cute" to its' own kind, but anything else is probably going to be treated like how a chicken treats a mouse: aggressively shaken and torn pieces before being swallowed whole.

>>5095723
>The T-Rex is probably "kind" and "cute" to its' own kind
We found one of their skulls with a t-rex tooth sized hole in it so probably not. Even if it considered you family it might decide you're hostile one day and assert dominance.

What if I put my dino son on HRT?

I saw a documentary about a caveman and a trex who became best friends and formed a sort of extended family unit. It was called Primal.

>>5095846
yes that is a fabulous documentary

>anons saying lizards can’t form bonds
Tegus and monitor lizards (including Komodo dragons) are super friendly and gentle to humans if raised from an egg.

Apparently the guy is trying to train another one to be Pocho 2 but I don’t think it’ll work unless he shoots the new one same way as the old one was.

I saw it at the Museum of the Rockies when the Sue exhibition was there, a few months ago. The statue was next to some exhibits where they DID say you can touch them, like this copy of Sue's skull.

I did touch it but only barely because I think it's a beautiful piece of art. Blue Rhino Studio did a phenomenal job. In some way it's more impressive than the actual fossil because it really did look like a living animal. The enormous torso, the individual scales, even the details on the pupil... it's all there.

>Could I pinch its cheeks?

This begs the question whether you would actually be able to. I imagine with the tough scales and jaw muscles it would be like trying to pinch a rock. The second thing to consider is that T-Rex breath smells horrible because of all the rotten meat in its mouth, so you really don't want to get close.

>>5098524
Actually it was covered in soft feathers and thin scrotum-like skin so pinching would not be a problem

>>5095533
Orcas are the exception, and not the norm. Like yeah, it’s absolutely fascinating that they are downright friendly to humans. Because most carnivores big enough to eat us AREN’T. Therefore, it makes the most sense to assume that t-rex would see us as a snack.
