The Test of Time A Novel by I. MacPenn |
In the Jurassic Park movies, T-Rex wants to eat people. Is that probable in real life if they were ever to come into
contact?

TOM: We can never know for certain, obviously. A young T. rex might chase after people, but an adult T. rex might think that humans are too small for food in normal circumstances, since its prey was multi-ton herbivores like Anatotitan, Edmontosaurus, Triceratops, and Torosaurus. However, a T. rex coprolite (fossil dropping) contained the bone of a young plant-eating dinosaur, which was only the size of a horse (or possibly smaller). Thus adult T. rex individuals might have occasionally fed on human-sized animals.
