How dare you question T. Rex’s patriotism.

The more you think about how huge they are, the more terrifying you realize they must have been to see in the flesh.

T. rex going after weaker prey? And here I thought predators only engaged in fair fights.

Two items I can recall some scientists looked into that puts the T-Rex out of the much vaunted super-predator catagory - it had a highly developed olfactory setup on par with that of a buzzard, and a measurement and subsequent simulation of how the legs worked revealed that it couldn't run and would fall flat on it's face if it did. Chances are it was just a big nasty scavenger properly equipped to gorge on the large carcasses of the day and probably wouldn't turn down opportunity at anything small, slow or dumb that came into reach.
