"So you don't know if they reproduced slow or fast, you just made it up and said slow. I see."

It's very safe to say that T Rex had slow birth rates. That's not made up, that's derived.

Large animals have slow birth rates. Alligator. Whale. Horse. Elephant. Etc.

"Large animals have slow birth rates. Alligator. "

Actually, you offer a poor example. Alligators, after reaching maturity will lay their eggs each year, in rather a large clutch. What makes you think they are slow to breed?

You're just guessing. Your other examples, like Elephants and horses, have no relevance, since they are mammals.

Guessing doesn't get it. The bottom line is that you have no idea how often Rex bred. You don't know if it was an egg-layer or a live-bearer.

Essentially, you don't really know anything at all about Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Thanks for playing.

You said the T-Rex's rate was slower than the alligator or the elephant. You still have nothing to back that up with.
