    I’ll just stay inside the hut thanks. An animal that big will starve to death without anything substantial to eat. And by substantial I mean like elephants and shit. These animals needed a lot, and I mean a LOT, of calories to keep going. One month should be plenty of time for attrition to get the job done. If I have to actively participate in its death though, I’ll just wait until starvation/illness weaken it to the point where it can barely move, make some spears by sharpening stone sticks, and stab it through the eyes until it stops breathing.

      I was about to post that there was also more oxygen in the atmosphere during dinosaur times hence why they were so big, but I did a search to make sure and it turns out to be a debunked myth. There was a high oxygen era, but not during dinosaurs. TIL

        Good question. It depends on the environment. There may need to be some stealth gathering necessary when I can confirm the T-Rex is asleep. If water is included with food, or the food provided is high in water content (basically fruit), I’ll be fine. Harvesting dew is hard but doable, but not nearly enough to survive.
