T-rex was probably a chonky feathered birb.
Like this?
Yes. How fucking embarrassing would it be for the first artist to set the standard of the t-rex as this intimidating best only for into look like a phat chicken...
the irony of it all is that t-rex specifically seems to have been naked, and i mean naked as in it literally just had a bunch of regular skin like a plucked bird.
Great-great-great-great-great-grandmother chicken.
And most probably females would be bigger than males and hold territories.
I think the same thing whenever I watch my hens go out hunting.
The most terrifying is watching them jump on top of a 5ft fence from the ground. Scale that up to T-Rex size. Fucking nightmare fuel.
Square-cube law got your back
Funnily enough jump height doesn't scale proportionally to body size and the big t-rex would probably still just be able to jump like 5ft
