. Marshall was the lead author of the original study. He says his original team used a complex model that relied on average body mass, population density, geographic range, number of eggs, and several other things.
However, Griebeler says that some of the data imputed into the model were disagreeable, believing that Marshall’s team overestimated the survival rates of the T. rex population, as well as their egg-laying capabilities. All of this is important, of course, because those particular sets of data directly affect just how the researchers estimate how much the overall population would have been estimated. However, Griebeler believes the survival rates and egg-laying capabilities would have been more akin to that of modern birds and reptiles.When that data was input, it brought the estimated T. rex population from 2.5 billion to 1.7 billion overall. And that number would be just a maximum of the possible T.
If the estimate is to be believed, researchers say we’ve found less than one percent of the remains of all the T. rex population that once roamed our world. That’s a crazy number to think about, especially if claims that the
