T-Rex: So for this scene did you want a long pondering stare, like I’m figuring out who I am-
Director: LOL bro just roar AIGHT!? Action!

Bet they honked like a goose.

If they did, it would at least be a lot lower-pitched than a goose. Vocalization frequency tends to scale with the size of an animal.

So I'm guessing their honk would sound more like a foghorn ... which is kind of terrifying in its own way.

I mean, sure. Maybe. Probably?

But can you imagine anything more terrifying than a multi-ton Canada goose charging and honking at you?

Counterexample: cheetahs. They sort of meow instead of roaring.

Have you heard what a horny moose sounds like? Although I guess that’s not technically a “vocalization”.

Didn't they have feathers? Or was that another era?

OwOarchist@pawb.social · 5 pts · 1d

Yes, current consensus is that T-Rex probably had at least some feathers.

It’s pretty tragic that even to this day she isn’t credited by name.

The fan base calls her Roberta. Or Rexie

To say nothing of what they made her do to get the role. :(

She's a clever girl.

Which implies that the T-Rex already had a major role in a movie 55 million years ago and now I'm curious in what movie?

MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca · 11 pts · 1d

I'm more impressed that they filmed a movie 10 million years after all the other dinosaurs went extinct.

Should have soaked them up with her feathers

That dude looks like a young John Oliver - which can't be, because that guy was born old

I think you mean John Oliver. Jamie Oliver is the chef

The "Rex" in T-Rex means "king" in Latin. Therefore, the female T-Rex's name should be Regina, which means "Queen" in Latin.

What about King Kong? That was pretty big at the time. Sure, it's more of a supporting role, but still significant.

Her name was T-Rex?? That’s like naming a dog “Dog”
