All The Times Science And Pop Culture Tried To Make The T. Rex Less Badass
— Dr. Alan Grant, Jurassic Park
The idea that T. rex was a mere scavenger, rather than a majestic super-predator, was first introduced by a paleontologist named Lambe in 1917, but the debate really only heated up in the 1990s when paleontologist Jack Horner (the real-life inspiration for the character of Dr. Alan Grant) popularized the idea. Still, if you’re like me and you’ve had quite enough sweetness for one T. rex article, please enjoy this video of the Barney balloon being torn to shreds by the wind in the 1997 Macy’s Parade (presented with my personal apologies to Mr. West):
