Prehistoric Planet Tyrannosaurus

This is my interpretation (with a few minor tweaks) of the Tyrannosaurus rex portrayed in the documentary series “Prehistoric Planet”, narrated by David Attenborough. I have to be honest, I found the series’s portrayal of the Tyrant Lizard King to be underwhelming all in all. It was good to see the animal’s gentler side represented, but I felt that those scenes would have had more meaning if contrasted against seeing the beast in predatory action. That we didn’t see the T. rex doing what T. rex did best was a missed opportunity for what was supposed to be the ultimate, “most accurate” documentary depiction of these animals. I did like the jungle backdrops (presumably representing the southern parts of western North America in the Late Cretaceous) though.
