So you’re saying t-rex could have been just a big hippo? ;)
Or a giant duck.
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

Would you rather fight 1 T. Rex-sized duck or 100 duck-sized T. Rexes?
100 duck sized t. rexes, and it’s not even close. Grab a couple of the little bastards by the neck and start swinging until they’re all dead. The big boy would crush you with one bite. This also applies to the question that yours was likely inspired by.
