The link doesn't work.

T-Rex is still a kick ass motherfucking dinosaur regardless of speed.

Yes it does kick ass, but there is a fundamental shift in how we think he/she/it hunted. We used to think he would chased prey down, but now it look like it may have ambushed prey and even possibly used team work like the raptors.

The link does work. The t-rex is still a carnivore, however, they are saying that due to its size, it may not have run as fast as originally thought.
interesting.

This fundamentally changes the way that t-rexs have been viewed for many many years.

I am so happy that I was not around then. Bunnies would become extinct in a hearbeat:

1. everyone would step on them.
2. everyone would eat them

You have not heard of the BUNNOSAURUS, now, have you???

2. everyone would eat them

I WOULD LOVE TO EAT A RABBIT.
