Tyrannosaurus Rex in the Movies
I just need to vent, to get this off of my chest.
Tyrannosaurus Rex is the most popular dinosaur to appear in movies. Ignoring the fact that they existed during a time that humans did not, when a Tyrannosaurus appears in a movie they have an insatiable appetite for humans. They always seem to go through a great deal of effort to eat human flesh. O.k., I understand it's the movies, but to the folks who make these movies - do they realize that a Tyrannosaurus Rex is estimated to weigh between 10,000 to 16,000 pounds? Compare that to an average human of about 180 pounds, and then think about how much effort a Tyrannosaurus Rex would put into hunting, chasing, fighting (gorillas, other dinosaurs, armies, etc) for a human? Doing the math a human would be about 1% of the body weight of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Personally, if I went hunting for a 2 pound squirrel and a Grizzly Bear got involved or anything involving rocket propelled missles, I would probably let the grizzly bear or whomever have the squirrel and drive to McDonald's and get a Quarter Pounder Value Meal, with cheese.
Thanks, for listening.
