Jurassic Park (TFX): Is Spielberg’s T-Rex close to scientific reality?

TFX releases tonight the first episode of Steven Spielberg’s saga where the director brings to light the wildest of dinosaurs…

a slow hunter

If we could see it in the movie Jurassic Park, If a tyrannosaurus rex got into a chase with a vehicle, this wouldn’t really be the case! A biomechanical expert has proven, thanks to a 3D simulation, that the animal cannot exceed 20 km per hour, given its weight, skeleton and muscle mass.

a social animal

It was considered a solitary predator until a bone deposit found in Alberta (Canada) in 1996 revealed the presence of large numbers of specimens of all ages. According to Canadian professor Philip J. Currie, this discovery proves that the T-Rex lived in packs and had a social organization.

a silent killer

Study of the hearing aid leads American paleontologist and anatomist Lawrence Witmer to say that the T-Rex is particularly sensitive to very low frequency sounds that cannot be perceived by humans. Therefore, far from the roars we can attribute to him in the cinema, he radiates infrasound. The terrifying roar of the T-Rex in Spielberg’s movie was achieved by combining the barks and screams of penguins, tigers, crocodiles and elephants!
