Ok, a last question: why would a Tyrannosaurus be so moronic as to approach an animal charging at it at high speed head on? Sure, it wasn't especially smart, but I'm sure any animal would have the common sense not to do that. It doesn't have to approach, it could stay in place, it could run away and it would make a difference because the orca is faster. |

Why would it stay and let itself get hit? Unless the tyrannosaur wouldn't think the orca would/could ram things with by swimming into them (that might make sense, as an orca likely won't seem like such an animal to a T.rex at first glance)?

Maybe in a scenario like this, aquatic animals are likely to have an inherent advantage against terrestrial ones, especially with a well-armed animal (especially a ramming one) like O. orca.

Sure, it wasn't especially smart, but I'm sure any animal would have the common sense not to do that. Since when do orcas attack things head on? Certainly this would be the orca’s choice, and everything I know suggests it would outflank a large prey item and attack it post-cranially. |

Except I didn't say the orca is attacking it head on; I was referring to Tyrannosaurus approaching the cetartiodactyl head on. |

What exactly can the trex do to stop it from Happening? Well, I've always been aware that evading attacks is obviously not exactly easy at this weight range (despite how I argued for the potential for side-stepping), so I guess there's probably not really much... |

Side stepping is pretty much the only thing it can do and that would in most cases do little more than prolong things. |

Tie; T. rex on land and O. orcinus in water.

the t.rex would be able to win at parity by a small edge

I have to side with the T-Rex, the jaws are massive and with huge teeth and bite force. The only thing is if the orca got the third dimension I might hand it to the orca. The orca also has the speed advantage. Still, I would give it to the Rex.

If the Orca fights like a brute, trying to over power or bite the Tyrannosaur to death.. it loses IMO. (smaller skull, smaller teeth, less devastating bite and smaller size etc)
if what VD is correct about the idea of an Orca ramming the theropod at a high speed causing it to fall over, the Orca should win.

I haven't posted my opinion on this yet.
Honestly, I think the orca's girth and its lack of a risk of falling over give it the edge.
