T. Rex Ambush
Clip: Episode 1 | 1m 56sVideo has Closed Captions
How the bulky T. Rex may have been sneakier than we once thought.
At 13 feet tall, and weighing almost nine tons, Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the largest predators to walk the earth. Despite their size, the padding on their feet acted like a shock absorber, allowing them to stay stealthy. This helped them to sneak up on prey and claim their place at the top of the food chain.
