Who would win?
Elephant as in African elephant? T.rex and it's not even close. >Elephant>5 metric tonnes>11 feet tall>12-18 feet long>T. rex>9 metric tonnes>22 feet tall>40 feet longThe dinosaur is twice as heavy, twice as tall and twice as long. Anyone who says otherwise is coping unless you're talking about that outlier genetic freak elephant that weighed 11 tons
Aw, no way! I used to have those cards!
>>5081207T. Rex takes this with medium difficulty.Triceratops is a way more reliable counter to a T.Rex becauseIt evolved alongside it, had tougher skin (compared to a mammal) could turn faster, had a frill to guard against bites and could actually use those horns properly.Elephants with longer tusks lose to Elephants with shorter tusks in intraspecific combat because long tusks are imprecise and break off whereas short ones are more reliable for actual stabbing and goring so those tusks are not nearly as reliable as a Trike's horns. Maybe a reckless young bull in musth can run amok and hope for a mutual kill by wounding the T. Rex enough but neither animal will have a clue as to what the fuck they are fighting although T. Rex wouldn't be that surprised at seeing such a huge herbivore but I could see the trunk confusing it.

>>5081208>that outlier genetic freak elephant that weighed 11 tons>though museumgoers affectionately call him “Henry” or the "Giant of Angola", the towering elephant’s official label is more somber: the Fénykövi Elephant. He’s named after Josef J. Fénykövi, a Hungarian-born engineer-turned-big-game-hunter who first encountered traces of the elephant in 1954. While on a rhinoceros hunt in the remote Cuíto River region of southeastern Angola, he stumbled upon the unbelievably large footprint of an African elephant (Loxodonta africana).>“Getting out a tape measure, I found it measured an even 3 feet [1 meter] in length – more than a foot larger than the world's record trophy. As I stood up a little chill went through my body. I knew I was looking at the spoor of probably the biggest animal living on the surface of the earth,” Fénykövi wrote in 1956 for an article published by Sports Illustrated. >Obsessed with the find, Fénykövi returned the following year at the head of a specially organized expedition involving local Indigenous trackers. On November 13, 1955, after days of searching, he and his team finally confronted the near-legendary elephant and shot it dead with over a dozen high-caliber bullets.

>>5081207An Elephant would freak out and run away if it came across a 10+ ton T-rex. They are smart enough to recognize a threat. If and when they run away, get get run down and dispatched with minor difficulty. >Muh 10 ton elephantWell, 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.>T-rexes were not that bigVolumetric 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. >Their bones would break from walkingExpand 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. >Why are we here?Fuck if I know. These threads are an exercise in futility. Retards will argue in bad faith based on which animal they like more.
