... The dinosaur we all love to fear, “the Tyrannosaurus Rex”. ... Depending on who wins this great debate the T-Rex, the dinosaur we all love to fear could be laid to rest. I’m here to persuade you that the finding of the well known dinosaur hunter, Jack Horner proves that the T-Rex was not a predator, but a highly skilled scavenger. I will accomplish this by illustrating the anatomy of a predator, with that of the T-Rex using information from the Discovery Channel, NYC Museum of Natural History, and the Ultimate Dinosaur Book, by David Lambert.
To begin let us exam a neighbor of the T-Rex during the Cretaceous period a true undisputed predator the Deinonychus. ...
Now let’s look at our beloved Tyrannosaurus Rex. In a street survey conducted 100% of six graders believed the T-Rex were accurately portrayed in the Jurassic Park movies as a terrifying predator. While 75% of high schoolers felt maybe the T-Rex could have been a bit overplayed in the movie, but still felt he was definitely a predator. ... Now let us look at the T-Rex. After studying the body mass of T-Rex in 1995, Paleontologist James Farlow discovered that the Tyrannosaurus Rex could not have risk getting into a fight, because of the danger of severe injury if it fell with no adequate forelimbs to save itself. Looking at the proportions of the legs of T-Rex we see that he was not a runner or fast sprinter like most predators had to be, but a slow moving slug.
