History: The largest land carnivore to ever walk the earth. It was a vicious dinosaur that was so big and powerful that it even survived the meteorite that killed the rest of the dinosaurs. Some scientists believe that it was just a scavenger. This can’t be true because with those big teeth wouldn’t you chase down your food? Actually, it probably was both a scavenger and a hunter, sort of like a dog (bad sight but good sense of smell like a t-rex, chases rabbits but eats roadkill.), at least that’s my theory. A tyrannosaurus rex has appeared in just about every movie featuring dinosaurs. It has become one of the most popular and most recognized of all the dinosaurs.

Just for fun, let’s pretend that the scientists of Jurassic Park fooled around with genetics and came up with a genetically altered dinosaur bred and trained for fighting. Using the really big mouth of his and the big sharp teeth, this guy can shred just about everything in seconds! However, that’s all it can do. It is a classic example of putting all your eggs in one basket. If the shredding mouth fails, there is nothing it can do. It can’t stand much abuse either. He won’t last long in a fight, but then again, he doesn’t really need to.
