T-Rex won in the intro to some indie dinosaur game from a few years ago...
Despite some issues with lighting and shading that the layman couldn't notice and the haters would point out, the fucking CGI in Jurassic Park is still some of the very best ever. If more people put effort into blending real environments with realistic CGI we might be able to do more like it.
There is no Jurassic Park 3.

Hi
D'aaaw so cute!
*cluck cluck*
Such a cute birdy!
But birds were wrecking machines, having feathers doesn't mean they weren't the top predators of their time.

There is little in the world that I hate more than people who have this attitude.

T-Rex and the Stegosaurus were my favorites as a kid.
Remember when they thought the t-rex stood looked like this?
It looks like someone's getting a special horn rub over there...
Joel Was Right
If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.
Hi
It's a fake. It had no feathers. Possibly had rocket launchers though

I always preferred allosaurus for some reason as a kid.
Poor guy, facing that anti-T. Rex propaganda campaign with their lies about his hunting ability or durability or discoveries of theropods that were very slightly larger, but with a cranial capacity half of the T. Rex's.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I still don't get the feathered T-Rex hate.
Just imagine that thing in real life, fucking running and shit. Thing would have looked awesome.

I think T. rex is a pretty cool guy. Eh bite big things and doesnt afraid of anything.

Liberal media.
I liked them, too, but because I pictured them hunting in packs. These packs of near T-rex sized carnivores millions of years before Rex existed was pretty cool to me.

I've been watching an excellent series on Netflix streaming titled: Clash of the Dinosaurs. The first two episodes had some great details on the T-Rex. I rec. it for everyone.
It also talks about this guy: Hatzegopteryx
As flying animals go they don't get much bigger than Hatzegopteryx. It was a pterosaur of gigantic proportions, standing over five metres tall with a wingspan of at least ten metres. This would have made Hatzegopteryx one of, if not the, largest flying animal ever known. The robust skull was three metres long and among the largest of any non-marine animal.
Crazy nature is crazy.

Dinosaur topics in general, and T. Rex topics in particular, are like siren songs for you.

Hi
Still no concrete evidence that T-Rex had feathers.....yet.

Am I the only one who thinks the Birdosaurs are cool? I mean, it looks so sleek. Like a pre-break-failure Toyota.
My brother and I fought over which was better: Stegosaurus or Triceratops. I was partial to Stegosaurus.

I believe the article was referring to Erickson and company's bite force analyses from the mid- to late-nineties, in which case the ~13,000 N estimate for a posterior tooth was actually that which was required to replicate fossilized T. rex bite marks on a Triceratops pelvis. Given the position of the bites on the underside of the pelvis, they were inferred to have been made during feeding, and not representative of the maximum bite force, which presumably would have been generated during prey capture.
The authors of that study have repeatedly said as much, but given the poor quality of science reporting in general, their findings tended to be reported as "T-rex bite = alligator lol."
Like a moth to flame, my man.

The hell is this, seriously? Someone, please, explain, or i will always believe even more terrifying creatures live inside sharks.
Yeah you're right. Just the idea of feather raptors has always been silly since I spent a good time of my life being afraid of the image of raptors (thanks to Jurassic Park) lol

I'm more inclined to believe that God put the hatzegopteryx's fossils in the ground to troll us than to believe that abomination (yet very cool) ever existed. What a frightening thought.

Goblin Shark.
Fear its self.
Also, I watched a program on Discovery after Midnight, made me feel like I was watching porn, which it pretty much was with dinosaurs. It showed how they had sex. A T-Rex's penis is like the size of a tree, so if that baby came swinging down it could kill you. They had sex by biting the back of their partners neck and shoving them down into the ground to keep their balance.

Bravo for you T-rex. However, you're dead and I'm living. Pew pew pew.
Speaking of the T-rex...

Pssh, it takes science decades to confirm what my 5-year-old self knew instinctively.
T-Rex beats Spinosaurus, despite minor size difference. Spinosaurus was a fish eater. His jaws were too fragile to take down large, ferocious prey. Especially prey that bites back. Jurassic Park 3 was such shit.

The computer generated animations of it on the aforementioned documentary series are truly mind blowing. The human mind just cannot comprehend a 17 foot tall bird with a 40 foot wing span, and weighing 400 pounds jumping into the air at 2.5Gs hitting 30mph in less than a second! My mind was full of wtf when viewing. When it was walking on the ground. the stuff of nightmares.
