    That really is amazing. But why did we previously think that the T-Rex’s eyesight was terrible, then (as seen in the first Jurassic Park movie)?

      The JP movie (and book, too) took a lot of artistic license. Which is understandable; if the T. rex was depicted as having realistic senses, it would have been a quite short movie with a grizzly ending. And realistic velociraptors wouldn’t have been as intimidating—they’s been small and quite dumb.

      What I really wish is that they’d done the vocalisations of T. rex more realistic—the high pitched screaming was not right. Imagine if the first sign of the rex wasn’t ripples in the water glass but the barely perceptible sub-20 Hz vocalisations from the distance that grow loud and nauseating as it gets close. Granted, not many sound systems could reproduce it—mine can and it’s glorious.

        Just curious, since most postpone can only hear from 20-20k Hz or something and since most sound systems don’t go lower, what kind of media to you listen to that actually go that low? Why would anyone record it if only you and a few other audiophiles can reproduce it?
