T-Rexes are Like Ball Pythons

I was thinking about one of my favorite movies, Jurassic Park.

And then I realized that T-Rex husbandry is extremely similar to ball python husbandry. In particular, the feeding part.

They take a relatively harmless prey animal (goat) and leave it in the T-Rex enclosure. And then they wait. And wait. And wait. And...wait.

The T-Rex does not appear until later that night, in the middle of a storm. It had to think about it for a few hours, and then have complete darkness before it felt comfortable eating the goat.

Or was it the presence of its preferred prey animal, much like you can trick a ball python into eating a rat if it smells a mouse?

As you can tell from the below picture, the T-Rex has a much stronger feeding response toward the more expensive and harder to obtain prey animal, the human.

Food for thought!

i doubt there was any goats back when dinosaurs existed,or cows that they fed to the raptors. t-rexes had to eat other dinosaurs i would guess.

I wish I could feed my BP's goats. It'd be so cool!

Don't we just love intelligent analogies. Love me some Jurassic Park! The next one comes out next year.

Something tells me the next JP movie is going to suck.

It's not really convincing, but this is something to look forward to I guess!

T-Rex actually loved triceratops necks! I read an article that talked about finding post mortem teeth marks in the shields on the heads and teeth marks in the neck bones, suggesting that T-Rex would bite the shield for leverage to rip the head off of the triceratops to get to the neck meat. To me, if they were worried about this meat and not the huge legs, it backs up the hypothesis that he was a scavenger, as well.

I think that rob zombie was supposed to be making a t-rex movie. Idk if he lost funding for it or decided to go a diff direction or something.

dinosaurs were reptilian after all.
