I tend to go along with experts. They should know their fields. If there is scientific evidence that Tyrannosaur rex was a pack hunter, who can sensibly dispute it?

T. Rex was 19 feet tall, about 3 feet taller than the tallest land animal today, the giraffe, and 45 to 50 feet long including the tail, about twice as long as the longest land animal in the world today, the python. It weighed between 3 and 9 tons, and this is important. The scientists that believe in a heavier T.Rex believe it was primarily a scavenger and would even track predators that make a kill then move in and fight them away so it could eat (similar to a wolverine) But scientist believing in a lighter, more fleet-footed 3 ton T.Rex believe it ran down it's prey and was primarily a predator. Hope that helps.

I would doubt that.
Based on what current animal kingdom we sees. Pack hunters are smaller in size. Only the solitary animals are larger.
T rex is one of the largest predator, it has no need to be pack hunter as it's size itself can provide enough success.

The smithsonian had a huge article about them being pack hunters. In this same issue they had t-rex dna from a femur and it resembled an ostrige

Yep. I would credit that notion all up and down, because it'd make just as much sense that way.

Why do you keep spamming this question? Can't you think of another one?
