Who would win in a fight between a rhino and a Triceratops?
With a modern rhino, Triceratops will almost certainly prevail. Even a white rhino is “only” four tons at most; Triceratops max out at probably more than ten tons. While the rhino is quicker both in terms of speed and intelligence, Triceratops is just as agile, and, as I say a LOT bigger.
Could T rex have been a scavenger?
Horner, Goodwin and Myhrvold’s study, according to , actually shows what most palaeontologists believe; that Tyrannosaurus was an opportunistic carnivore; an animal that both hunted and scavenged.

Did T Rex have any predators?
There once was a place on Earth so overrun with giant, meat-eating predators that even a Tyrannosaurus rex would have been nervous. One predator there was even bigger than T. rex, and scientists now say it’s apparently the only aquatic dinosaur ever found. The swimming monster is called Spinosaurus aegyptiacus.
