Essential facts that a survivor needs to know (see previous post for specific 'raptor survival instructions)
To begin: A t-rex is bigger than you. Not in the way that a basketball player is bigger than you, or your older brother. Not even in the way a bully can appear bigger than you while really being smaller. To properly appreciate the size of a t-rex, attempt to push over a medium-sized skyscraper; it will be unaware of your existence, your efforts are vain, and you look ridiculous.
Second: Unlike that skyscraper, the t-rex is aware of you. He is always aware of you, even when you are standing very, very still. He is aware. Imagine that the world's best sniper is using a laser to pinpoint your exact spot, but he is leagues away from you and the laser is overly sensitive to anything moving in the area. It is just a matter of time before the laser adapts and narrows in: Target acquired.
Proceeding: The t-rex does not have a sniper rifle (thankfully). He has something worse (uh-oh). Uh-oh is the correct expression. Think of a great white shark's teeth. They are used for shredding and snapping seals, and other prey, quickly and viciously, ending life or dismembering limb in a single snap. The only thing similar between a great white shark and a t-rex is the sharp first row of teeth. Only, a t-rex has larger teeth. And, unfortunately for you, a t-rex does not end life in one quick snap. He gnaws, twisting at a limb until it is ripped off, holding down his prey with his large skyscraper-like back leg. And then he finds he is bored and leaves his victim, probably alive, for a later snack.
To conclude: I have briefed you on the basic dangers of this goliath. You may wonder, What can I do to survive? You can join the revolution.
With me.
And my velociraptor army.
Or perish, probably.
