You bite the Trike, the Trike bites back

More likely it would use its horns. If Triceratops (and other ceratopsians) did indeed eat meat sometimes, then most likely they would have scavenged.

How old would you say that rex is

If that Triceratops is ~2.3 m tall at the back, then the Tyrannosaurus seems to be ~3m tall.
The specimen ''Stan'' is a tad taller than that and is 18 if I recall correctly, so I suggest that this T.rex may be 15 or 16 years old.

Hello! I was wondering if i may use this in a youtube video i am making, (we will give you 100% credit of course) and we are not monetizing our videos.
Youtube channel is; The Expeditioner's Discovery Guild, if you were wondering

I love it, great job with dynamism, movements and aggressiveness of Triceratops *_*

Nice! Never seen a ceratopsian biting back at a predator.

It's the "If you can't punch it, kick it!" quote but Triceratops version: "If you can't pierce it, bite it!".

God! SERIOUSNESS! Love it, like a time freeze. Though rex having feathers is now innacurate and trike has been found to have large hexagonal scales on it and spikes on its rump which are probably quills.

I have, and I've read the paper.
Very neat stuff indeed.
(My comment you replied on is out of date as well, since the paper).

Ah, I see.
Do you know what part of the animal it is from?

No i will try to figure it out. Β 4 inch is quite big of a piece. But still uncertain on wich part and yet wich tyrannosaur it is from. I would guess it is from Daspletosaurus or Β Albertosaurus.

Rex having feathers isn't inaccurate.
The new paper is a) sketchy (with clickbait conclusions and some inaccurate info), and b) never stated that rex had no feathers at all

It's quite obvious, warmer climate, a giant animal like a elephant. A feathered rex is like a mammoth in the savannah. Hell creek is intensely studied and results show that it was a warm and hot climate. Though if it did have feathers, then they would've been small and hard to see like an elephant's fur. Trex is likely to have a thick hide to conserve heat energy. A young rec being small and able to lose heat easily would require a lot of heat absorbing fibres. If trex did have feathers, then those would be very small, hardly seen. Take a look at certain body parts where you can't see your own fur, such as your fingers. βΊ

You're assuming feathers work like fur. Which is false.
Feathers are more like a thermos in terms of temperature regulation

Both fur and feathers are used as thermo regulatory organs and sometimes for display. Feathers absorb more heat than fur does. And yes, they are a thermos, which is why they would overheat a large animal.

Do you even know how a thermos works?
A thermos works by insulating its contents from all outside conditions. And this means high temperatures as well as low temperatures.
Feathers work the same way. They block ALL transfer of heat, meaning that external heat CANNOT be absorbed into the body.
Fur doesn't work like this, however.

I have heard the news about that and honestly the media reports (and the paper itself to a lesser extent) jumped to conclusions.

Eh what media says does not bother me, they jump to any conclusion without checking in with scientific research. The publication even indicates feathers. Β
