T-rex was probably a chonky feathered birb.
Like this?
Yes. How fucking embarrassing would it be for the first artist to set the standard of the t-rex as this intimidating best only for into look like a phat chicken...
To be fair it's a chicken which is 12 meters tall, if you've ever seen chickens killing and eating bugs it seems cute but if they were that big they would not be cute at all, it would be terrifying. Little birds are only cute and unintimidating because they're small.
If you put a tail on chicken it walks like a dinosaur

I am aware. I am just saying it's appearance is something else.
Great-great-great-great-great-grandmother chicken.
And most probably females would be bigger than males and hold territories.
the irony of it all is that t-rex specifically seems to have been naked, and i mean naked as in it literally just had a bunch of regular skin like a plucked bird.
I think the same thing whenever I watch my hens go out hunting.
The most terrifying is watching them jump on top of a 5ft fence from the ground. Scale that up to T-Rex size. Fucking nightmare fuel.
Funnily enough jump height doesn't scale proportionally to body size and the big t-rex would probably still just be able to jump like 5ft
