How long does it take to grow a dinosaur?

Question

Having recently watched a televisionotron programme about a dinosaur being dug up by some chaps with beards, I was wondering just how long it would take me to grow a T-rex, I think it would make a wonderful substitute for the guard dogs about the manor grounds. Would three weeks be enough to grow a 25 foot tall T-rex?

Answer 1

Old Chardoners is sort of right. I did indeed plan a hunting expedition for said beasts, though it never really got beyond the planning stage, and mostly consisted of arguing with some chap in the saloon bar of the red lion about the availability of elephant gun cartridges.

So my knowledge is pretty scant in this area old chum. My expertise is largely related to hunting beasts, not creating them. If you succeed, and it gets off the leash, can I have first crack at the thing? It's head  would make a cracking trophy.

Answer 2

dinosaur are analogy to reptile or amphibian but it more like reptile, so it's mean you can measure the lifespan from birth to adult. take example for large reptile such as snake, croc or maybe a lizard. more than that all just an assumption to be truth. who knows the age of dinosaurs??? nobody can't tell.

Answer 3

Rotter, call me on that 'magic talky stick' and I will put you in touch with someone who produces dinosaurs. He takes some old fossilized poo and injects it into a piece of sheep, hey presto a fully grown dino in 2 days.

Answer 4

two days.

you put the thing in a glass of water and it will grow to full size in two days...

but then it is wet and squishy and no fun anymore.

Answer 5

Yes. I grew mine in about 19 days. He is about 22ft now. He will reach around 30ft in about another 5 weeks and is doing very well indeed. However, it is not easy to keep a T-Rex in your backyard so be prepared for complaints from the neighbors...Oh and don't forget the food bill is huge!

Answer 6

Just a couple of days.. however I must warn you, this one below is pure evil. If flagged me off the other day and shared intimate secrets about me with the neighbors. It also checks peoples car tax discs. Savage.

Answer 7

The correct answer of course is no more than six days.

The disclaimer is to whom do we turn for the relevancy of the length of a day? How long is the day?

Answer 8

Rotter old chap..the growth rate will depend on the rate of feeding...i have an endless supply of local chavs that have nothing better to do...if you pop the little beesty in the cellar you can tell the chavs you have free booze down there....feeding problem over ? ....its just getting the little blighter out that may be a problem ?

Answer 9

Excellent question, I'd say three weeks is not enough time, it took one full year to grow my T-Rex, but I kept it constantly starved so when I do have intruders, solicitors, Mormons, or girl scouts, the dinosaur is exceptionally angry with them.

Answer 10

Ah old chap, I fear slightly longer than those chaps' beards. Well, it appears that Richard Attenborough managed to grow some from DNA found in a mosquito inside some piece of amber. However, these days we can clone from any kind of cell.  But you would need to find some dinosaur DNA. I suggest one of Cilla Black 's hairs may be enough. Good luck.

Answer 11

Pretty hard since they're all/or/Most are extinct,

Lool

Answer 12

Hmmmm  I watched the same televisionotron production, I understood that the beasts in question died out over a year ago..... Possibly due to the consumption of cider on park benches ?

The only recourse i feel you might adopt is to attempt a trapping exercise in the Amazon, and bring one back alive....

Though I think they are only 16ft tall ? They were when I saw them last...... I think the Earl has experience of trapping them ?

Answer 13

it would take -3000 years....

Answer 14

im guessing a little longer than that, give it a few months to grow to its full size.  but make sure you have like mountains and MOUNTAINS of dead animals to feed it, though, unless you want it bustin' loose and eating anything that moves anywhere it goes.

Answer 15

Make sure you follow the T Rex -keeping-guidelines and feed them on crusty tramps and hobos! Its the perfect crime- no one will miss them! Bwahahaha!

Answer 16

I'm sorry but Osiris is wrong. T Rex won't touch dead meat. It has to be alive and screaming. It's a common mistake.

Answer 17

Plant a dinosaur seed.

Water well.

Apply plenty of fertiliser.

Have plenty of fresh meat handy, just in case.

Report back to the group in a year's time.

Answer 18

for reasons of face preservation i have chosen never to impale the front of my head on the tip of a javelin

does that answer match the lunacy of your question?

Answer 19

Dearest Rotter old bean.. My sources inform me that the bloody yanks have undergone such an experiment on an island off the coast of Venezuela with disastrous consequences.

Perhaps a war elephant would do the trick to keep the common peasants at bay.. 'twould be less costly as well.  Not that it matters MUAHAHAHA, yes, quite..

Answer 20

I believe dinosaurs are perennials, so assuming you plant in early spring and they get plenty of water, they should be up in no time--and year after year!

Answer 21

No dear, now just go have some gin and tonic and change the channel.

Answer 22

My good man, Let's see if I can assist you in this matter. How about I have two of my most trusted servants crate up my "Way Back Machine" , and deliver it to your Castle swift and sure. I have not used it for some time now, and the desire for adventure is upon me. The two of us good go back and capture one of the silly beast ourselves. But of course we will be in need of a few of your least desired peasant laborers to use as bait. So what do you say Old Chap, sounds like a sporting good time to me.

Answer 23

Why don't you google it and then come back and tell us your search results... but... this is only off the cuff when I say this..I personally think it would take longer.

Answer 24

Give it three and a half...

Answer 25

Pampers is right, but I doubt that anyone would seriously want to have a 25 foot tall red headed Bucktoothed Scousasaurus Megairritatingus wandering about the house.
