One thing I will never get tired of is when people compare Tyrannosaurus to wolves and lions. Because at the end of the day they weren't these massive murder machines built for killing and killing alone, they were animals. Survival of the fittest, and fittest doesn't refer to strength or being the most perfect. It refers to being fit for your environment and working with your constraints.
We're missing so many of those day to day behaviors that get written off as "boring". And all I can really think about are those oh so important things.
A rex patrolling the edge of the group's territory, drinking water beside other theropods in very different niches, an old bull lying down for a final nap in the dying sulight, a bunch of subadults fucking with a herbivore far out of their league...
I fucking love the realistic interactions that we don't really see in mockumentaries or even many real documentaries.
