Scientists discovered a dinosaur that they are now calling "Raptorex" (Raptorex? Holy shit! More on that later.) that weighed 100 times less than a T-Rex. This is mainly a shock because scientists have surmised that a T-Rex was supposedly built the way it was (Big head, big legs, stupid little arms) because of it's size. Now they've got this thing, and it can only be assumed that it hunted and acted in the same way as a Rex, only in a much smaller, cuter, and admittidly hilarios fashion. Raptorex died about 60 million years before T-Rex existed, likely after their whole population was forced into a giant locker for being such little dweebs.
An unlikely end for the king of the dinosaurs.
What does this mean for T-Rex and Bonus Time though? Could the Rex see a return as a genetically engineered accessory to the stars? Mini-poodles, pugs, and chihauhas have all been accesorized into the outfits of the rich and famous, who is to say that a Raptorex might not be the next big thing to walk down the red carpet with? The potential for fashion, and fatalities are numerous, and we can only hope that this is the path science choses to follow with this discovery. With all the other animals we've seen cloned during Bonus Time (See our Facebook catalog) it's not a far stretch to think that with enough demand, scientsts would go Jurassic Park.
Also, Raptorex? How did this thing not take over the fucking world? If I weren't sitting here right now, I'd say it did.
