The elephant has a cannon.

A fething CANNON.

It's legs are larger and thicker than an elephants. They have to be, two of them are holding up fifteen thousand pounds.

Shuma has a point. Plus the teeth are closer than the legs are. Yikes!
Well if the elephant were possessed by the spirit of Bruce Leroy he'd just impale the TRex's skull with his sword tusks, and then say something catchy.

I remember seeing that elephant armour last time I was in Leeds! Don't remember seeing the tusk swords, I thought they were held somewhere else, very impressive sight!

Anyway, while I would love to go for the elephant, it is Rex all the way just the sheer size, weight and killer nature of the thing would finish it off no problem! A couple of elephants? Yeah, maybe then, it would be similar to a rex versus some triceratops, then we have a good match!

The elephant. Not even a contest. Even if he misses, the noise, mouvement, and smell made by the cannon will scare the T-rex into a frantic run.

Animals don't feth with gunpowder.

Don't go bear hunting with that attitude.

Bears aren't animals, they're Chaos Deamons of UnAmericanity, or so says Colbert.
Also, mace it. Kodiak bear will break a charge the second they smell pepper. Wonder if that'd work on T-Rex.


Also, just did a bit of digging and counting, but since 2000, there's been 33 fatal attacks by bears (brown and black), of these 32 were on unarmed humans.
One man fought off a bear with a Swiss army knife.

Also, a crapload of those were people who kept bears, tried to interact with them, or fed them.

Depends. Can the T-rex alter probability?

I seem to remember a tactic used against elephants was the use of pigs. Elephants apparently were not to keen on the noise of their squealing and some bright spark decided to set fire to some pigs in front of the elephants and sent them packing. So depending on what noise a T-Rex makes one good roar could see the pachyderm running.

Of course the smell of bacon frying will only attract more T-Rex's they loves them some bacon!

The elephant will have no chance against the T-Rex and his coconut-rending teeth.

Herbivore with swords in place of tusks, battle armor, and a freaking crew served cannon on it.

Crew served. Sorry if that is not clear.

Both charge each other....TRex might get the war elephant...but what would happen if TRex takes the hit to the jimmy......

Its a fear we all to live with I'm afraid.

He'll hold it with his tiny hands until it stops hurting in his tummy of course.

Who said it was a bloke T-Rex anyway?

T-Rex wins in the first minute by trunk amputation.

-Rex wins in the first minute by trunk amputation.

Elephant goes into rampage mode

it is not a fair battle with the elephant having a crew, as it is no longer a battle of 1 on 1

that being said, the crew would be the first to go, one bite kills them all, and hurts the elephant

To make it a fair fight, the T-rex should be given a hand cannon.



"...a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus!"

Decision!

Chain Gun weilding TRex (with cowboy hat) for the win!
