What can an elephant actually do though? If you hug its hind legs it can't reach you with its truck, and its too sluggish to get away while you repeatedly pommel it from behind. If you stand to the side of its hind legs then it won't even be able to hit you with a back kick. If it raises its leg to perform a stomp then all you have to do is back off until it finishes its slam, then move back in to continue punching.

>Well, most T-rex specimens we have are juveniles, or most likely juveniles. The ones we know are fully grown adults, like Sue tip the scales at 10+ tons. Sub adults are still in the 7-9 ton range. Seems like 10+ tons were an average size of a T-rex. If you're going to use a 1:100 000 specimen for elephants, then the same should be afforded the T-rex. Not impossible that a genetic outlier for a T-rex to be in excess of 15 tons, if not more.
Not even remotely true, scotty and sue are around 8ish metric tons and that seems to be a theoretical mass limit for bipedal megatheropods even the largest Carcharodontosaurids at 13+m all fall into upper end mass estimates that are in the same range as the largest rexes. Statistics doesn't take into account biological limits and evolutionary pressures and is using a warped and biased selection to begin with.
>Volumetric 3d models. That's the weight you get when you model in every organ, muscle and fat deposits. They were fat, idk what to tell you.
and they constantly oversize rex and undersize other large theropods Acrocanthosaurus being the main victim, more recent studies actually restore it as being on average more massive than the tyrannosaurus average but with less of a individual variation meaning it tops out as less than Sue or Scotties 8 tons
>Expand your mind, truth is not established just because a shitty paper that is often cited said so. Nobody has ever bothered to challenge it is all. Muscle, sinew, fat and skin also support an animals weight, not just bones. Plenty of large animals alive today brush off falls that should break their bones according to the oft cited paper.
Again, every giant carch with a reasonable mass estimate of a paratype/holotype is in the same range as Sue and Scotty. The going theory is that carchs and rexes had hit the ceiling for mass in a megatheropod, the point at which bigger was a detriment to survival so evolution stopped selecting for size

>An Elephant would freak out and run away if it came across a 10+ ton T-rex. They are smart enough to recognize a threat.
How strong even are the fear instincts of elephants? Being the biggest strongest animals around probably doesn't engender much of a flight response in your genes.

my cat has cancer. i was sure it was something different when bringing her in for surgery, so i didn't tell them to put her down right away if they find a malignant tumor. and they didn't. now she's carrying a sure death sentence with her, which makes everything harder.

now i have to nurse her back to health, pay a shitload of money, too, to make sure her next weeks or months are as positive as possible for her, and then put her down when the tumors come back.

i keep telling myself that at the end of the day, it's just a cat. why the fuck does it hurt so much? is this normal? i'm in my mid 30s, i have fought in a war. and now i cry every day over a stupid cat.

We just put my cat down today. He was really my wife’s cat, but she had him before we moved in together, so he always felt like a member of the family for the past 13 or so years we’ve been together. I wasn’t expecting it to affect me as much as it did when they put him to sleep but once my wife started sobbing I got a lump in my throat and I had to look away.

Make sure not to feed any plant-derived foods to your cat and give more fresh meat.
It will help with energy and health as time passes.
Also it's just a cat. They die.

big cats react to catnip and boxes exactly the same way. even disregarding your fucked-up "dogs" which are just man-made fake animals, other wild canids have less variants (because they're inferiour to felines) and you can't include bears because those aren't the same thing at all.

As usual.

i like to meet with a guy from work down at the duck pond in the village where he lives every few weeks. we just sit there for a few hours, surrounded by all kinds of ducks and waterfowl. they're all used to human presence and some of them come begging for food, i always bring a little bread for them or share my pizza with them that i sometimes get nearby when i'm drunk. i fucking love ducks, they're awesome. i feed them from the hand and watch them for hours while shitposting drunk. great times.

I am short as fuck and one of the best at helping people move among anyone I know. Tall people are really annoying for me to work with and it only works out if I take most of the weight. It doesn't help that most people, including those who lift, are not good at lifting awkward objects. Even some guys in the trades have no idea how to effectively maneuver once they have a grip on the weight. I learned to lift things working construction and helping my family do manual labor. All of the issues you apply to the short guy also apply when a tall guy has to adjust to a strange position to fit into a tight space, stands higher when you're on the bottom going up a flight of stairs (which gives the short one all the weight), or insists on trying to drag an object instead of lifting it. Don't even get me started on having to match their stride, especially when I'm the one who has to walk backwards. Some of us are, indeed, strong enough to keep objects up just so the tall person doesn't want to kill themselves. We just never get the same courtesy in return.
