Be noisy as hell
Stop that, stop that! Go on, clear off! Go on, go away! And you, clear off! Bloody weather.
I've seen a lot of little birds hop around. Not only are birds dinosaurs, but the particular birds I've seen hopping are very similar in shape to a T Rex.
My chickens run around very similar to the run we see of T-Rex/raptors in movies. They lean forward and low and run surprisingly fast for an animal with wings that they just tuck.
Yeah, that seems more likely from what I know about dinosaurs. Just saying, we already have birds who hop to compare to. The kangaroo idea just strikes me as silly
Or like a pigeon with its head motion while walking.
with its* head motion
Yes, you're right. Corrected.
Have you ever seen a real roadrunner?
Seen one? I've caught one.
And what if they skipped daintily while holding giant lollipops?
"Nurse said that if I were a good lad that I should receive a lolly!"
I think I saw that anime.
T Rex only known organism to lick its way to the center of a Tootsie pop
Does the penguin fly? Mass/per/volume is a thing...
Mass per volume is density, and I suspect the Trex and kangaroo are similar (~1000 kg/m^3) so yes they'd both bounce in that case. I think what you're looking for is surface area to volume, which decreases rapidly as an object gets larger while maintaining geometry.
