MemberCompsognathusJul-24-2014 11:52 PMLately I've been imagining what techniques T rex might have used while taking it's first bite out of it's prey. Did it take the biggest bite possible or use only the front third of it's teeth to open a small wound? Did it bite down with the side of it's mouth first then pry off a chunk of meat?
This documentary is pretty cool. Its long but if you dont have time to watch all of it go to about 50min in. A mechanical T rex skull bites into big piece of pork. I got my fix. The animation is solid also

MemberCompsognathusJul-25-2014 8:29 AMSince the force would be highest at the middle-start of the jaws, it probably bit down with that area around the neck or back, since those two areas protect the spinal cord.
Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-

MemberCompsognathusJul-25-2014 1:33 PMI agree with what has been said.
Though you did mention taking a bite out a prey item, then backing away to let the animal bleed to death. That's common in sharks today, but this technique can also be utilized in the slicing/ tearing bites of the allosaurs.
Nature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
