T-Rex vs. Titano Boa.

via IO9 by way of the Smithsonian



My money is on the snake.  Ambush predators are plain tough to beat.

  3. Jaguars and gators beat up on big snakes all the time. The snake usually has to be significantly longer than either to win. And the latest is that the T-rex has one of the highest bite forces of any creature that ever lived. Only the giant crocs like Deinosuchus might have topped it. (There are a couple crocodilians thought to be potentially larger than Deinosuchus but they were more like gharials designed for fish than crocs designed for large prey." Best case for the snake T.Rex out masses it by four times and T.Rex ain't no rodent or impalla. Think of a 100lb snake trying to take down a 400lb male lion. Snake's gonna probably be dinner.

  4. i'm figuring that the snake will operate the same way that modern ones do. by that i mean that it will be close to the water...it will probably ambush its prey either in the water or extremely near it. that means that the t-rex will either learn to swim, or die. i'm betting that it'll simply get dragged under the water and suffocated or drowned.

    either way, the big snake wins.

    additionally invasive species of anaconda have been terrorizing the Florida everglades and our native alligators and panthers are getting either eaten or at best killing while being killed. big snake is tough to beat if its in its element.
