The truth comes out about the T-Rex. My childhood dreams are shattered


Here’s a quickie for you…


This cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex is on display in UC Berkeley's Valley Life Sciences Building. The original fossil skeleton from Montana's Hell Creek Formation is in the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Mont.  Picture taken by Randy Irmis

Apparently, the T-Rex wasn’t as bad-ass as previously thought.  It was not a top predator but more like an annoying scavenger like a hyena.  Haven’t you seen the Lion King?  There you can see how annoying hyenas can be.  They kind of act like jerks too.  

T-Rex = hyena?  There went my childhood. 

You can read the whole story in the EurekAlert! Press Release T. rex more hyena than lion.
