Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.
I have no idea why people think chickens look stupid when they walk… to me, the way they walk just looks like the way they walk. And the prospect of a T-Rex being that alert and agile is pretty terrifying.

I do see your point, it would probably look funny from a safe distance… Chicken (especially roosters) can be vicious. Up close, a dinosaur-sized chicken would be freaking terrifying!

Would you rather fight one T-Rex sized chicken or 100 chicken-sized T-Rex?
NightAuthor@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Def 100 chicken sized t-rex, they’re not pack hunters, so you won’t have to deal with a big coordinated attack. Just have to fight the tiny-rex a few at a time.

Pack of compsognathus says hello.

Not sure how out of date the research is, but in the original Jurassic Park book, there are roaming packs of these things that overwhelm and kill people.
Though the on screen scene of them killing people happens in the second movie, it actually takes place in the first book IIRC… anyway, they’re basically depicted as land piranhas.

Can I fight the mad scientist making these abominations?

Given I have seen how chickens and birds in general fight, I would fight a 100 chucken-sized t-rexes.

Neither!

I question whether one should fear a T-Rex or not.
First of all, they may have been scavengers and not predators.
Secondly, would they even bother with something so small as a human even if they were predators? 🤔
Aremel@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I can’t speak to lions and mice, but chickens or even just birds in general will peck at anything smaller than them that moves.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Most scavengers will gladly accept an easy meal, just like chickens will gobble up little bugs they see on the ground without giving it a second thought.

You eat hamburgers, it’s a similar scale comparison
