#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Yeah, I think it is because, yeah, these guys, the Carcharodontosaurs, they're much more cutting and they're really killing stuff probably by grappling with the arms because they do have big muscular arms with big claws and then slashing away at stuff.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

So I think they're probably doing something more like, almost like wolves or hyena or hunting dog where they're harrying stuff

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

and slashing at it and you're basically bleeding them out and wearing them down.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

very fast bite so it's very simple mechanics you know if you have a very long jaw you're going to close faster but with less power at the tip than if you have a really short one that's deep and so that really is it um but yeah let's say there's there's things like yayar means and then there's things like yeah velociraptor and a lot of its relatives really very and not just small but you know narrow it is narrow snouted there's not going to be a lot of fundamental strength here

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

The teeth, very numerous, very small.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

So they're much more about grabbing something tiny.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Velociraptors eating rat-sized stuff, that's going to be probably its primary diet.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

They're going to struggle, though.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

I remember doing some work for one documentary, and they literally wanted Velociraptor fighting a T-Rex.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

And I said, like, you do know this is like, we're going to shoot some meerkats killing a lion.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

And it's like, well, you can film it, but no one would believe it because, you know, these ankle-high things trying to, like, savage a shinbone.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Yeah, I'm sure they'll make some holes and it'll lose some blood and it may not be very happy, but it's...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

I don't think they're going to win.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Oh, enormously.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

I mean, they get a bit bigger than this in terms of the skull.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

But yeah, they're kind of thigh high to me, like a meter or so to the top of the head, two meters long.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Whereas in the movies, they're like standing taller than guys who are six foot.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

So it's just,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

massively massively scaled up and then these kind of big kind of domey heads then they're not the really long narrow snout maybe we could take that tangent what does Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchise get right and wrong

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

I mean, get wrong a hell of a lot.
