    Nile crocodiles eat about once a week on average and can eat twice a year and survive. I wouldn’t count on a t-rex expiring from hunger in a month. Maybe from all the new germs, if it was time-traveled in, but not starvation.

      I think dinosaurs are more closely related to birds than present day reptiles. T-Rex in particular were warm blooded I believe.

      If more similar to a chicken than a crocodile they wouldn’t go too long without food.
