It's the ultimate battle of the predators - the monster snake's unbelievable power against the tyrannosaurus' giant bite. They lived in different times and places, but if they ever met, who would win? (01:33)

To Mike Woods. Did you even watch the video? The snake didn't fly through the air! And this snake is different than a regular Boa! And they meant 400 pounds per square inch of the whole body. Not 400 is equivalent to 3 Eiffel Towers! Sorry this is a late reply but that comment set me off!

Nobody could ever tell who would win because of the time period and continents. But I would bet my money on Titanoboa because of the swift movements it could make. Where as the T-rex couldn't twist it's body fast enough against Titanoboa.

T-Rex is heavier and has powerful bite.If it bites the Titanoboa,then its over.

Well no matter the size of the t-rex the snake would win. This is because no matter how you see the t-rex bitting the snake and winning in reality it won't happen like that. Cause with snakes they usually dont take their prey heads up in fight especially if its bigger than they are. They will likely hide in a place where they blend in and can ambushed their food. so if the titanoboa decide to eat the t-rex it will ambush it and constict it, which means that its game over the snake wins.

Let's see.. The TREX weighs 6-7+ tons. The snake weighs at most 1.5 tons. The snake has almost no chance whatever - and would probably never attack. It would flee to water immediately. Even if they weighed the same - which would be a 72+ft. snake , the TREX has teeth 12 inches long... If it could maneuver to get any kind of bite on the snake, it's game-over.

although Titanoboa constricting pressure of 400Psi (or 2720KPa) is correctly, but that only happens when "all the constriction force is apply against a prey with surface contact area of a mice", if it try to coil around T-rex torso, pressure will be be only 10-20KPa, fallen due to contact area increase..... wanted to play with pressure unit game without specific contact area and force applied? Well, each one of T-rex 24 maxilla teeth can simultaneously deliever 3000Psi, equvalient to 4 Iowa class battle ship nailed to a single teeth, and all 24 teeth together are equvalient to 10 world trade center fallen down at same time.

Titanoboa is even match for T-rex is like saying T-rex UCMP 137538 is a even match for a 18 meter monster of aramberri, can T-rex rip apart the thoat of monster of aramberri, sure, if it get a solid bite on the artery, one bite MOA is dead

T-rex has its extremely powerful bite, talons and speed, the titanoboa on the other hand, has weight and constriction. T-rex wins

T-rex wins HANDS DOWN!!!!!!

The Honey Badger would win hands down!

This is a BS fight. The T-Rex would snap the Titanaboa in half with one bite and the fight would be over. Plus the T-Rex has feet, claws and more mobility. What exactly does the Titanaboa have apart from its size going for it? Very little. The only way the Titanaboa would win is if it ambushed the T-Rex by surprise or if it had fangs that could inflict a fatal bite. Not a fair match at all.
