Why T-Rex Arms Were Its Deadliest Weapon

Why T-Rex Arms Were Its Deadliest Weapon If you've ever seen a T-Rex in literally any movie, museum display, or meme format, you've probably noticed one thing stands out more than anything else – those comically tiny arms. And I mean, come on, these things are basically the punchline to every dinosaur joke ever made. Here's this absolute unit of a predator, weighing as much as an elephant, sporting teeth the size of bananas, and yet it's got arms that look like they were borrowed from a chicken that hit hard times. Scientists originally thought they were basically useless, maybe good for helping the Rex stand up after a nap or awkwardly holding onto prey while it bit down. Some even suggested they were just evolutionary leftovers on their way to disappearing entirely, like a biological "we'll get to that later" note from natural selection. But here's the thing – and I know this sounds completely bonkers – those stubby little arms might have actually been one of the most dangerous weapons this dinosaur had. And no, I'm not joking.
