The SCARIEST T.Rex Theory Nobody Talks About Anymore - Jurassic World History

The Septic Bite theory from Komodo Dragons passed onto Tyrannosaurus Rex in this wild and terrifying belief that nobody really talks about anymore. The discovery of venom in the lizards and the Edmontosaur and Triceratops finds killed the idea but back in the day it was pretty scary. And it would be Jurassic Park science fiction fun if ever adapted.

"It's like... it's not a dinosaur! Just GO RESEARCH ONE! They still live!" ~ Klayton about komodo dragon

This is one of the reasons I really love the cloning aspect of Jurassic Park. It’s because of that you can really have a lot of speculative science like the Dilophosaurus venom, the troodons well if you know you know

Klayton & Gaming Beaver deserve to be the main character's in the next Jurassic film

[mattpalmer]

I mean yeah Malcolm did say his leg was beginning to “smell rather pungent” but yeah he was bitten in the torso and apparently didn’t even have puncture wounds just a semicircle of bruises

[kavehthephantomboy]

It's so good that you now make videos about paleontology theories and other stuffs, keep going this way, I always want this Klayton, active and passion.

I remember hearing about this theory, and, personally, I don’t believe T. rex had a septic bite, or would’ve needed one to begin with. A single bite from those strong jaws could still do a lot of damage, but even if the T. rex wouldn’t have a septic bite, I’m still quite sure a well placed bite would’ve caused a bad infection anyway if the prey managed to escape.

[NathanSpies]

What’s worse, a T-Rex biting you and your skin getting infected or a T-Rex biting your arm completely off?

[edwardleemiller-eojp]

As for the flesh between the Rex’s teeth, the Cretaceous world prologue from Dominion hit the nail on the head by showing the Giga laying down with his jaws open and allowing scavengers to act as Dino dentists and give him a cleaning.

It showed Giga not as a monster, but as a creature living in symbiosis within its ecosystem.

I also recall reading an article that theorized that the Rex’s nasty ass mouth could have killed them much earlier than their actual lifespan. There may have been parasites that were slowly eating their faces from the outside, eventually killing the therapod. The article stated that the bone breakdown caused by such parasites were mistaken for other rex bites. I don’t know how much validity this theory has, but still an interesting and scary concept.

The thing about Tyrannousaurses was that they didn't actually need a bacteria-filled septic bite to do the strategy. Their mouths were huge, which meant they could tear a big chunk of flesh out of their prey and then back off. That would mean that their prey was now missing a huge chunk of muscle tissue so they were injured, they couldn't move as well, they were probably bleeding quite a bit. Just a massively traumatic injury that would cripple its victim and had a good chance of finishing them off due to shock and blood loss. And if not, the T rex could track it and attack again once it was vulnerable.

Klayton, this video was absolutely brilliant! I had no idea that there even was a Komodo Dragon, T-Rex theory! Thank you for covering this! Keep up the great work! You should do a collab video with Shadows!

[JohnCena]

The scary part about that septic bite (if T.rex did have one) is that the smell of rotting flesh on a prey animal that somehow survived would definitely attract dozens of scavengers that would literally eat the half dead, barely moving animal alive.
THAT in a new Jurassic movie would be terrifying.

[seanmckelvey]

To be fair, basically all animals, especially ones that eat meat, have 'septic bites'. A bite from another person will result in a pretty severe infection without treatment. Obviously, a Tyrannosaur bite would most likely result in a fatal infection for any other animal unlucky enough to experience such a thing and walk away, but then so would the bites of any other carnivorous dinosaur. This theory has always gotten an "well yeah, obviously" response from me, but I never really understood why it was pushed as some special ability that was unique to T.rex.

[Emperor_Oshron]

i don't know about tyrannosaurs, but "actual" obligate scavengers having a septic bite is certainly interesting as an artistic liberty. i'll have to remember that for one of my own writing and worldbuilding projects.

[sebastianthehotsaucedude]

Klayton at 4:55 you mention the death of Ian Malcolm from the novel, I do not remember that. I do remember however John Hammond succumbing to the bites from the comps in a similar manner. I don't remember Dr. Malcolm dying....

[YouTubeFambam]

Septic or not.
I don't want one biting me 😅

[mil_buri]

The dinosaurs breath was described in nice detail in the books. Can't really convey that in a movie but apparently it was hot and rotten smelling. Sounds lovely.

[robrice]

This gets me thinking, how do carnivores not develop septic bites from their food?

[beenjammin]

I remember there was show called Lost Tapes. In the episode Devil Dragon, an outdoorsman in the Australian rain forest is bitten and later stalked by a creature that turns out to be Megalania.

You’re videos are always a good listen during workouts, been a huge fan since 2017.
