t-rex was a scavenger not a predator
Actually, there is a variety of branches in the T. Rex family of Dinosaurs, The ones I've read about actually were predators that hunted in packs -
never heard the theory that they were scavengers, however perhaps that's what they degenerated into during their final days - after the asteroid hit
that is.
One point of reference to actually observe the hunting practices that have been theorized to inhabit the T. Rex species is to watch the fight between
King Kong and the two T. Rex dinosaurs in Peter Jackson's version of the movie King Kong.
Whatever the case may be, here's one thing I am sure of... and this may be a point to take seriously as it is a very sobering one:
Awhile back, scientists at the CERN laboratories in Switzerland announced the creation of anti mater within their Large Particle Collider. When I read
the article the scientists said things like, "We're not too sure what we've done here, but it sure is interesting, and we plan on doing further
research into this".
At the time I felt alarmed at words like these, because it made me feel that they were little children playing with matches, and they didn't care if
everyone around them got burned... "not too sure what we've done here..."
Here's a statement by their spokesperson:
As Gabrielse puts it, "If you push reality really hard, good
things always come out of it."
If science has this kind of mentality, who's to say they won't clone the T. Rex ?
