Ok but guys we all know Rexy is a big terrifying beast but she’s also an animal, which means:
rolling around in mud and dust to keep the flies away. Can you imagine that? A t. rex on its back, big ol’ turkey legs awkwardly in the air as she wiggles about, getting mud everywhere.
Itching herself on things. I bet there’s one tree with its bark almost stripped bare in her enclosure because she uses it to get those places her teensy little arms can’t reach.
Butterflies. Lots of tropical butterflies gather around the eyes and nostrils of large animals, because they lap up tears and mucus which is rich in salt. So at some point, Rexy has sported living butterflies around her eyes. What a pretty girl.
She’s a therapod, and a bird-like one at that. Which means, despite her terrifying appearance, she would shed infertile eggs like chickens. Picture it: This big old T. rex, one of the biggest attractions at Jurassic World, just bending down and plopping out an egg. No words, she just does it and walks away.
Sometimes she gets sick. God, I bet T. rex throw-up is a horrid thing to deal with. I do not envy the keepers that day.
