The T-Rex Was a Vicious Predator, But a Gentle and Caring Lover
LatestDo you remember that scene in Jurassic Park when Dr. Grant (Sam Niell) and Dr. Sattler (Laura Dern) ask Dr. Hammond (Richard Attenborough) whether or not he has a Tyrannosaurus Rex on the island? You know, when that wackadoo billionaire giggles and says, “We have a T-Rex,” and then Grant just about has a heart attack from the shock? Of course you remember that scene. Everyone remembers that scene. But do you know why that news nearly brought Grant to his knees?
The answer is not “because he was excited to see the iconic beast in person for the first time” (as I’ve thought for the past 24 years) but rather something more… touching. Based on a study reported by The Guardian on Thursday, I’m beginning to think Niell was overjoyed by the realization that he would soon witness firsthand life’s most wondrous expression of love and compassion: T-Rex foreplay.
