trex had a 4 foot intestine to dispose of meat, ours combines are how many feet?

and dont even begin to argue teeth.

you can tell who here has been to college and who dropped out
I am not going to argue teeth...I am going to tell you about teeth.

Teeth and the saliva in your mouth are the first step in the digestion. they get it ready for your stomach so your stomach doesn't have to use as much acid trying to break down the food.

We only have 4 incisors an 2 canines in our mouths (and that can take us to another discussion in evolutionary science). Aside from raptors(birds of prey), octopi, and squid, All other True Carnivores in the animal kingdom have at least 12 incisors and 6 canines. And its not so much the front teeth that get the food as ready as it is the back teeth.

And ours are flat, broad, and conical, go figure, the same as all the other herbavores.

As for Trex having a 4 foot intestine that would be the equivelant of humans having a 6 inch intestine. Oh and Barbie has one too.

The average intestine is 23 feet.
If Trex had one equivelent to ours his would be almost 200 feet.
