Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.
then donald gennaro would still have a career.
What I’ve never been able to wrap my head around is how did they use their tiny arms, and for what?
Only thing I can think of is that they might have used them to brace themselves on the ground while leaning down past their balance point to eat. Doesn’t seem like a very useful thing to have arms just for that though

Unironically… Look it up
Man, I decided to do just that, and it was almost exactly what I thought (minus the technical words): if a velociraptor can do a metric fuckle of damage with their two hook-toes, a T-Rex with 2 of those on each hand can fuck something up, presuming it’s close enough (which, as the T-Rex head/bite-force, and distance from the jaw suggests), would have been pretty frequently.
Even if each claw only did a little damage, that’s still a lot of blood loss throughout the conflict, and the T-Rex would be more likely to win.
They weren’t actually tiny, they were about a metre long. But they do seem out of proportion.
They were very muscular and ended in very sharp talons, so pretty deadly.
Naturally, they arm wrestled
It looks stupid but is insanely effective.
The bobs helps pick out movement, once they pick out prey, they have laser focus and stop bobbing.
If you don’t think they’re similar, watch a video of a chicken hunting a mouse. It could be a scene out of a very low budget Jurassic Park.
I do see your point, it would probably look funny from a safe distance… Chicken (especially roosters) can be vicious. Up close, a dinosaur-sized chicken would be freaking terrifying!
Would you rather fight one T-Rex sized chicken or 100 chicken-sized T-Rex?
Given I have seen how chickens and birds in general fight, I would fight a 100 chucken-sized t-rexes.
Neither!
Can I fight the mad scientist making these abominations?
Pack of compsognathus says hello.
Not sure how out of date the research is, but in the original Jurassic Park book, there are roaming packs of these things that overwhelm and kill people.
Though the on screen scene of them killing people happens in the second movie, it actually takes place in the first book IIRC… anyway, they’re basically depicted as land piranhas.

You do. That’s how John Hammond goes. Falls in a ditch, breaks his leg, and the compys eat him alive. At least that’s what I remember.
I question whether one should fear a T-Rex or not.
First of all, they may have been scavengers and not predators.
Secondly, would they even bother with something so small as a human even if they were predators? I mean, do lions eat mice? 🤔
Most scavengers will gladly accept an easy meal, just like chickens will gobble up little bugs they see on the ground without giving it a second thought.
