Though some might point to this as evidence that counters Rex as an active predator in that he couldn't chase down prey. What these people fail to recognize is that T-Rex's prey was also as large, and no doubt just as slow (I had a conversation with the Tyrrell's new Dinosaur curator in 06 about how Hadrosaurs were on the weight scale and biomechanical buildup of medium sauropods) ...
That doesn't even take into account former Tyrrell Curator Phil Currie's findings of Tyrannosaurid pack dynamics with nimbler juvenile animals (who are built along the lines of the Tyrannosaurids close relatives the speedster Ornithimimids) as part of a family hunting strategy in which the fast youngsters could run into prey herds dividing and trafficking dinner to the adult Rexs (with the strongest bite force of any known animal) who'd do the killing...
Just as in this posts picture I'd still run (in terrified glee) if I saw a Rex!
