Bonus mush:
Paleontologists completed a life-sized replica of Sue, the most complete T. Rex ever found.
And she is freaking GORGEOUS!
As I read more about this beauty, I found out some new details regarding things I thought I previously knew about the beast that was Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I’m going to share them with you.
First, and most obvious, her size:
This is nothing new, we all figured T. Rex was big, but I for one never stopped to consider exactly how big it was. Nobody ever really knows what to imagine when they read about something the size of a whale that walked around and ate everything it could kill.
Speaking of eating things, I just want to remind you all that T. Rex had–by miles–the strongest bite of any terrestrial animal living or dead, somewhere around six and a half tons of force. That’s over six times greater than the current estimate of what Allosaurus was capable of, and three times what was delivered by the highest measured reading of the living title holder–the estuarine crocodile. It didn’t have to waste time swinging its head open-mouthed like Saurophaganax for a little extra oomph, or grow fancy serrated teeth like Carcharodontosaurus to cut pieces out of its prey. It opted for the simplest approach: get its mouth around something and crush it to death; imagine the full weight of an elephant on whatever was between this thing’s jaws.
“How did it find something to eat?” I hear you asking. “It can’t see something if it doesn’t move, right?”
Listen, I love Jurassic Park too, but that’s a big crock of shit.
Notice how both her eyes face forward. That gives her binocular vision (the ability to focus both eyes on one target, like you and I). More importantly it means she has impeccable depth perception due to overlapping fields of vision from each, large, eyeball. Researchers agree that T. Rex not only had incredible vision, but that it was probably better than most modern animals–including eagles, hawks, and owls–and that she could likely spot something three and a half miles away. If something that big can see that well, it doesn’t matter if you move or not, she’d be able to tell if it was an animal trying to hide or a piece of vegetation. So pray she isn’t hungry if she lays eyes on you. And even if by some miracle she didn’t see you, she’d still smell you.
If she decided you looked tasty, you probably wouldn’t hear her coming as much as you’d feel her. Modern science indicates that T. Rex didn’t roar like in Jurassic Park, but rather bellowed or maybe even hissed like crocodilians. If she were on to you, you’d most likely feel this sense of unease creep up your spine as a low-pitched rumble in the air permeated through you. You wouldn’t know what it was or where it was coming from until you hear her footfalls. By then it’s too late–you could try to run but she’d probably catch you. There’s plenty on YouTube that reconstructs what T. Rex may have sounded like, and it’s legitimately haunting.
To wrap all of this up, the one bit of good that came out of the cursed year that is 2020 is that this wonderful child of science and art came into the world, and reaffirmed my respect and admiration for the eight ton slab of muscle and teeth that is this magnificent creature.
…and it is nothing if not magnificent.

“I love you.” He said beneath the obnoxious song of the crickets. His onyx irises stared up at the night sky, at the thousands of stars watching this one scene that would not be known to anyone else.
Just him, her, and the stars.
Madison felt her heart drop into the depths of Tartarus as the small smile that once graced her soft lips disappeared into the light fog that caressed the two of them. What did he just say?
He... He loved her?
She stared down at the grass they sat upon, glistening with the morning dew. The sun had not kissed this part of Earth just yet, but it was leaving the other side of the world quickly.
A part of the world she had yet to defend.
Ever since she had learned about this new Guardian stuff and all the secrets her so-called parents kept from her, life as an oblivious city girl seemed so perfect right now. Everyone was depending on her, all eyes were on her now.
Now Malory just had to come out of nowhere with a confession of love.
Madison spotted the large silvery wings that replaced the male’s arms since birth. They were so beautiful, slightly ruffled as Malory anxiously waited for her response. They reminded her of the first comet she had ever seen after leaving the city for the first time.
It brought back the memory of their first meeting.
What could she say? ‘Sorry, but I’m not interested.’? ‘There’s someone else.’? She felt no romantic love for the male before her, yet her mind was pleading for her to say something that wouldn’t hurt the both of them.
‘Think, Brain, THINK!’
The whole time they had known each other, Malory had been nothing but good to her. He had sacrificed so much for her, her safety, and her goal. To hurt him right here on this hill of daisies?
She’d be no better than the ones who nearly killed him.
“I love you too.” She lied.
It had slid past her lips do smoothly, so effortlessly, yet the pain behind it was unbearable.
She had lied to one of the only people supporting her in this war.
Malory smiled down at her, unknowing of the lie she had pierced his heart with. His gargantuan wings slowly held her in a hesitant, yet loving, embrace. Madison limply followed along, hearing his heartbeat as she stared at the two dark, identical scars beneath his chest.
This heart, beating so strongly for her... would soon be broken.
They stood there in each other’s hold, one happy beyond all knowledge, and one slowly dying in self-hate.
Just him, her, and the stars.
“ I love you.” He said
“I love you too” she lied.
