Tufty hair, orange eyebrows, freckles and no roar: What tyrannosaurus rex was REALLY like

With a roar loud enough to shake a forest and a green, scaly skin, it has long been regarded as the slickest villain of the prehistoric world.

But according to a new TV programme, Tyrannosaurus Rex looked entirely different to the terrifying image so familiar from depictions on the silver screen. According to a new documentary, Tyrannosaurus Rex may not have been as terrifying as its depictions on the silver screen

The dinosaur had black, bristly tufts of feathers and orange markings around its eyes - while its roar portrayed with so much dramatic skill in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park may never have existed, with the predator instead emitting a virtually inaudible rumble.

In his upcoming BBC2 documentary, The Real T.rex with Chris Packham, the presenter re-imagines what the beast may have looked like with the help of expert palaeontologists, claiming ‘early science and popular culture got it all wrong’.

Through analysing fossils of dinosaur bones, skin, teeth and musculature, it is revealed the animal may have had more in common with birds than reptiles – including feathers and markings around its eyes.

Although the T.rex in Jurassic Park has a deep green skin, Professor Julia Clarke of the University of Texas believes the animal was covered in dark patches.

From looking at fossilised dinosaur skin under an electron scanning microscope, she found the same structures that produce melanin - the biological pigment that give us freckles or a tan – in the fossilised skin.

From this, and by looking at modern animals thought to be related to the T.rex, she maintains the dinosaur would be ‘coloured in a palette of browns, blacks, maybe lighter tones, greys’.

What they are up to isn't so much masculine vs. feminine, but they have to have dinosaurs have feathers. They imagine that dinosaurs came from birds, so they now have to make sure their largely imagined creations aren't without feathers, and even better, feathers and beaks.

This new rendition is pure BSaloney, put out with the soul purpose of supporting their inane, imagined theory of evolution. Of all their lies this one is their greatest, as it supports and is the basis for all of their other lying, demented, Godless, commie fantasies.
