Tyrannosaurus Rex

Speaking about Jurassic Park, this very interesting picture below was taken from a scene in the movie. The man in the hat is distracting the ferocious T-Rex with a flare because, believed to be a ‘fact’ in the movie, T-Rexes only see by noticing motion and cannot properly visualize objects much like humans do. What they meant, was that if you stood still without the slightest of body movements, a T Rex would never have noticed you. The movie was wrong about that, and a bunch of other things as well. Standing still, even for a day wouldn’t deceive a T Rex-it’ll eat you up.

By the way, Tyrannosaurus Rex literally translates to mean tyrant-lizard king.

Fact: Not every animal that has a ‘saur’ in its name was a dinosaur. For example, pterosaurs were flying reptiles, and ichthyosaurs were reptiles that lived in the seas. All of them, not dinosaurs.

The word "dinosaur" comes from two Greek words that mean terrible lizard.

Dinosaurs are a long-extinct very large group of animals that were reptiles and lived during a time referred to as the the Mesozoic Era, which is also properly referred to as the Age of Reptiles. Reptiles ruled the earth back then.
