    There is a very good possibility that T-Rex is not going to starve after only a single month.

      Are you sure? A big animal requires a huge amount of calories to keep going

        Yeah but not as much as you’d think. You’d only outlast him if he was already hungry to begin with.

          So I think you’re right, it’s possible it could go a month without food and just be pretty weak, but going very long without water and it would be absolutely fucked

            True, I didn’t even think about the water, that’s what would probably get it.

        Yes, but less per unit of body mass.

        The bigger the animal, the slower the metabolism of individual cells typically is. Vice versa as well.

        Meaning they actually don’t need as many calories as you might think, and can sustain without food like most scavengers would.
