A month off work where my food and housing is paid for and I get to see a T-Rex? Hell yeah, I probably won't kill it but I'm in

I think they overlooked the dinosaurs food. If you have food and an indestructible hut, couldn't you just wait until the T-rex was passing out from hunger and slice its throat?

Done to death in this thread, and I'm assuming the organizers will drop food for the T-Rex too. I mean, it didn't specify that you would be provided water either, but I feel like we ought to engage with the idea being conveyed rather than pick apart the fine print like contract lawyers

That or you both get a watering hole. Good luck human.

Fair, lol. I just saw your comment first, but when I scrolled down there was about 50 comments saying the same.

I wouldn't bet on that. Arctic balls can go 4 to 5 months without eating, I would imagine a giant T-Rex that is more cold-blooded could probably go as long.

A) probably not as warm as an Arctic wolf

B) it was a lot warmer in the Jurassic era then in Northern Alaska. Wolves burn more calories per kilogram than any dinosaur did
