The art of the T-rex sent shivers up my spine. The only times movies show a dinosaur staring directly forward at the camera is when it's making some posterboard shot where it roars at you, bares its teeth, trying to be scary and whatnot. But this photo of a silent dinosaur that's just staring straight at you is just so much more terrifying. How has no movie capitalized on this?

But it didn’t, that art wasn’t scary at all, I’m fact it’s just a large lizard. Unlike our forefathers who lived without what we have. I’m convinced of Dino’s we’re running around today you’d have humans hunting them for sport. You can’t tell me a T-Rex is gonna win against you and your buddies with steel slugs and oversized elephant rifles, or ideally a .50 BMG. Use a drone to track it down from above from over 3 miles away, then I’m loose it by shooting its knees and taking it to the ground. Or just go for the eyes. So yea it would be scary if it’s running at you, but you could easily take it down with the right tools, and then get yourself a nice T-Rex Skull to mount on a wall or something.

But it would definitely change the way of life for a lot of people who live closer to the wilderness or in the wilderness. We are talking about much much bigger carnivorous threats than what we already have today. The fact you would need to carry such a large gun with you every time you decide to go out into the wilderness, it would just change the way things would usually work today. I mean even large Brown Bears today can handle some pretty powerful shotgun blasts and still continue running/charging. Some guns have proven to not be very effective against them, which calls for more specific kind of firearms, and of course proper aim with them. Now imagine causally having to deal with Tyrannosaurs or other theropods in those situations…. It would significantly change how certain things would work today. And much more fatalities on humans by wild animals would occur if certain groups of humans continued living the way they do today. It would be terrifying and sad. No one is talking about an all out war between humans and dinosaurs…. By the way everything I’ve said would also apply to the aquatic wilderness as well…

Good point. Same terrifying senses, except it can actually run fast enough to catch you and is small enough it might actually view you as a meal.

[@fransthefox9682]

But there's a possibility that baby rexes were fluffy, so less terrifying.

[@catpoke9557]

@@fransthefox9682 This is technically possible but not likely since we've yet to find any evidence of it, and it would likely be present not just in T. rex but in many other dinosaurs as well since the benefit is that the young can use their feathers to regulate temperature while the adults don't need it- this would mean other large dinosaurs would likely have the same adaptation. But we have yet to see this in any, which is why it's typically assumed T. rex and other dinos did not have this adaptation. However since it's not impossible I have no problem with this speculation. But, note that they would lose a lot of this fluff pretty much as soon as they reach a size where they could be a real threat. They might not lose all of it, but they probably wouldn't be super fluffy anymore either. Also... remember that feathers make an animal no less frightening anyways, haha! Ever seen an eagle? They look SUPER fierce. They're mostly fluff, but that fluff contours in a way that gives them an even SCARIER appearance than they'd have without said fluff. It is possible the same could be said for T. rex.

A Thing a lot of people don’t get about the T-Rex in Jurassic park and it’s “movement vision” thing is it wasn’t an actual T-Rex. It was a mutant creature designed to resemble a T-Rex. There were plenty of other genetic weirdos in the original novel, such as a raptor that randomly changed colors.

[@kingol4801]

Yep. Also, it was “50/50”. Science could only take them so far. They needed to fill in gaps with random stuff to make it work, sacrificing many things in the process (making them lizards due to frog dna etc). So, it is not that they did not want to make them authentic, but more so that they COULD NOT make them such with all tech in the world. They would not survive otherwise (remember IRL cloned mammoth, right?). But THEN, after they had success and their creations survived, they messed some more and selected a prefect mix to make them more intimidating/behaviorally appropriate to their “role” in nature. So, their pool of dino versions was limited by nature of experiment. And THEN they narrowed it down out of the feasible ones to whichever they wanted. They were not “edgy mutants”, but more so just the best they could make, really. I mean, if their only two choices were to mix T-Rex with chicken to survive (as well as retain it’s OG appearance) but mess-up it’s aggressive behavioral profile OR mix T-Rex with frog to survive and retain it’s aggressive behavior (but screw it’s appearance), they would trivially pick the latter. Who would want to see T-Rex if it behaved like a dumb boring cow, right? To conclude, they were not some overly monstrous creatures/mutants, but simply imperfect designs that barely got by to resemble/act as how they should.

Actually you could outrun a T-Rex. The T-Rex was thought to have an average max running speed of 15-16 mph, while the average human is 16-17 mph if they're running for their life. So if you were in shape, you could totally outrun one, if need be. So that immediately means 41% of Americans would be dead within the first few months if the T-Rex were still around

Dinosaurs are indeed such beautiful and ferocious creatures that must be respected and loved.

Would also like to add that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was extremely stealthy despite its size. A lot of people ignore or forget the fact that they were ambush predators. Chances are, by the time you see it, it wouldve been behind you, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike for quite a while. .

[@jurassicsmackdown6359]

Pissed off sauropods are way more interesting than the gentle giants version of them, i must admit That would be horrifying.

[@jj-ce8bb]

I'd be more scared if sauropods were smart like elephants I've seen elephants hold grudges

[@loganshark667]

I actually think the larger saurpods would've been gentle giants. They are much larger, meaning they need to spend more time eating and probably weren't that agile. So it wouldn't make sense for a larger saurpod to have a fit. It'd wouldn't pay off and could actually exhaust and hurt the animal, making it ironically an easier target. The smaller saurpods... were probably the only ones who would've thrown said tantrums due to the fact they actually had reason, and the energy to do so.

For the some of you that have uneasiness when looking at the Trex image, that is primarily a leftover trait in our ancestor's primate brain that is used to seeing predators like big cats or large carnivore facing towards them and knowing that you are being watched. And the more animal has really good binocular vision the more the effect triggers. Just look up images of a forward facing Trex skull and it will really give you the shivers.
