Could The Indominus rex Survive The Mesozoic?

G'day everybody! Today we are diving into how the Indominus rex would perform in different prehistoric periods. More specifically looking at how this genetically-engineered dinosaur would fare against real-life species from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. We’ll explore its survival strategies, how it would deal with competition from other predators and it might handle massive herbivores.

Indominus seeing that instead of the apatosaurus running away from him in fear, he is actually running towards you along with a whole herd: 💀

[DakotaofRaptors]

Another thing to note is that T-Rex were super successful animals, judging by their abundant fossils, so not only were individuals dangerous - they were plentiful. I imagine I-Rex would recognize the futility of combating them and would learn to split resources where need be.

Her initial aggression will probably be her undoing. After all, in jurassic world it was stated she wanted to know her place atop the food chain. But in an era where there are many more massive predators and more amounts of giant herbivores, eventually the wear and tear of life will set in. She'll probably be a get successful hunter though with all the abilities of camo and thermal vision and high intelligence. If she can survive her initial recklessness, I think she'll be relatively fine

There is one feature that IMO makes Indominus Rex have a way tougher time killing big opponents: It's jaw and tooth build. Indominus' jaw is built mainly like crocodilian, same goes for teeth. This means that the mouth would be mainly used to grab and hold onto prey instead of dealing damage, unless it clamps it's jaws and then pulls them back, making the teeth pull on the skin. That still leaves the target alive, though now heavly bleeding.
T. Rex has a much better jaw and tooth build for fighting other apex creatures, since teeth work more like a saw, and the general mouth shape would allow for deeper and stronger cuts, possibly leading to one-shotting the opponent by crushing their neck.

On land, at least, I suspect giant herbivores would represent a bigger hazard/obstacle for Indominus than any carnivore. Especially since she seems to have no sense of self-preservation.

The Triassic would easily be the safest time period for her, so long as she stays away from deep water.

[scarletmonk]

No. Not saying she wouldnt stomp everything, shes bigger than almost all predators, stonger, camouflage, thermal vision, high intelligence and is generally just a brawler, but... shes overly aggressive and will get game ended before she can figure out that shes not invincibility.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

The point that everyone forgets is indominus was this aggressive is because she NEVER EVER saw anything except her brother that she killed, meaning that she could be even considered even mentally instable in the film, in normal condition she might not be as aggressive since she could have had someone to learn from and see the world since the beginning not all in one after YEARS of being alone

Herbivores especially sauropods and hadrosaurs are so disrespectfully underrated in Jurassic world, nice video ❤

[FrostGhidorahEX]

While Indominus may struggle at first
Given her higher intelligence. She'd likely figure out what to do and what not to do in these new environments. She'd inevitably get bruised and cut. But she'd probably come out of these scrapes with more wisdom then anything.
Now the question is if her "improved" version the Indoraptor couls thrive. At a much smaller size he'd be more at risk in this time periods and that could lead to interesting interactions.

I think something I personally see is that park Dinos have lived a relatively peaceful and pampered life, being fed and allowed to live in nice man made environments and no predators for the herbivores. The real deals had to fight from day one to survive so even if Rexy has had a few years on her own before World, a real Rex would have to hunt and survive for its whole life, thus giving dinosaurs like this a possible experience edge against Indy

[spinosaurusstriker]

People forget how nerfed the hervivores in jurassic park verse are.

[cadenvega]

In my opinion, despite being a very impressive apex predator, I don't think the Indominus Rex would have a high population. The female Indominus that was featured on Jurassic World displayed a rather antisocial behavior even when she was significantly younger as she killed her twin brother. The hybrids that have been shown to have another counterpart showed far more aggression towards other members of their own species.

Jurassic Park engineers: Let's make a super predator. People will pay good money to see that.

Also Jurassic Park engineers: Let's make it invisible.

[jonathanmichel]

That ankilosaurus hit would have completely shattered the lower jaw, hybrid or not. This is plot armor.

[Crakinator]

I think you’ve got an accurate take on indom vs accurate T. rex. Here’s mine:
A massive 12 ton rex would definitely kill or maim indom if she decided to fight one, though the rex may bleed out and die afterwards depending on how it goes. With T. rex’s ridiculously advanced senses, indom is not sneaking up on one. Rex just needs to keep its face towards indom, and there’s not much indom can do. Rex has a huge advantage in raw mass and center of mass, giving it impressive agility and somewhat of an immunity to being manhandled by indom’s arms. It’s also got way more destructive potential than anything we’ve seen from Isla Nublar, and any part of indom that gets caught in rex’s jaws would say goodbye.

The amount jjk memes that are in here makes me smile. much love mister gator I didn’t even know there was Paleo Youtubers, who liked jujutsu Kaisen like my self but I am no Paleo YouTuber but I am a nerd

[ariannascarano]

it was a very nice video and fascinating, I expected that the Idominus Rex despite being a killing stain would not have had an easy life in the different periods in which you introduced it, however I love it when you make long videos and I can't wait to see the next one😁

Would be interesting if the environment from the Jurassic was the Morrison formation. Firstly, the temperature was capable of actually being a problem during the dry season, as most if not all large animals leave during this time of the year. But that's not all, as not only the light threat of Allosaurus, Torvosaurus, and Ceratosaurus. Though, packs/mobs of most likely Allosaurus would be a problem. There is an even larger pack/mob theropod, Saurophaganax, with an average individual being around 4–5 tones and then the largest ones being up to 8 tones. I really don't think the I. rex could survive the Morrison due to the climate and the added threat of Saurophaganax (if it hunted in packs). Another environment that could give the I. rex trouble would be the Huincul formation, as it has Argentinosaurus and the large carcharotontosaurids, Meraxes and Mapusaurus. With Mapusaurus possibly hunting in packs.

WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK!!! Absolutely loved this one, great work mate!

Indominus rex thinking it could take on a Titanosaur before getting squished like a ripe pimple:
