PrepTest 84, Section 2, Question 23
It has been argued that the immense size of Tyrannosaurus rex would have made it so slow that it could only have been a scavenger, not a hunter, since it would not have been able to chase down its prey. This, however, is an overly hasty inference. T. rex's prey, if it was even larger than T. rex, would probably have been slower than T. rex.
