He also studied the fossil teeth of the T-rex, and compared them with the teeth of the Velociraptor,
and put the nail in the coffin of the “hunter T-rex theory”. The Velociraptor’s teeth which like stake knives:
sharp, razor-edged, and capable of tearing through flesh with ease. The T-rex’s teeth were huge, sharp at
their tip, but blunt, propelled by enormous jaw muscles, which enabled them to only crush bones.
With the evidence presented in his documentary, Horner was able to prove that the idea of the T-rex
as being a hunting and ruthless killing machine is probably just a myth. In light of the scientific clues he was
able to unearth, the T-rex was a slow, sluggish animal which had poor vision, an extraordinary sense of
smell, that often reached its “prey” after the real hunters were done feeding, and sometimes it had to scare
the hunters away from a corpse. In order to do that, the T-rex had to have been ugly, nasty-looking, and
stinky. This is actually true of nearly all scavenger animals. They are usually vile and nasty looking.
