Ever since we started discovering dinosaur fossils, we’ve always imagined how it’d be to walk with them in real life. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle planted that seed back in 1912 with his book, ‘The Lost World’. In 1954 the world was introduced to Godzilla. However, it wasn’t until Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of ‘Jurassic Park’ that people really got crazy about dinos.
Spielberg’s vision and Stan Winston’s practical effects gave us one of the most tense moments put to cinema and the best T-Rex we’ve ever seen. And any sci-fi will agree to that if you ask them. But, now in 2018, she might have some competition.
Twitter user Martin Montague uploaded a video of a T-Rex strutting in front of a building and you’ve to rub your eyes to judge whether it’s real or not. Just take a look!
Everything about this T-Rex is just perfect. The way the skin folds. The feather-y texture near its back. And if you’re still wondering if it’s real or not. Yes, it’s real and it’s made out of animatronics and practical effects.
This marvelous piece of work is part of the show, ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’, which is currently on a tour of England. It’s a six-hour speculative documentary that chronicles the journey of dinosaurs till the infamous comet strike that wiped them off.

If you’re scared of dinosaurs, here’s a dose of adorable as the mother T-Rex is joined by its kid. And they look to be having a really good time.

Netizens were awestruck by this recreation of the T-Rex and demanded for it to be used in the movies.

4. The movement is pitch perfect, really.
Aah missed that on the first view, kinda captivated by the movement – haha! That's pretty amazing still, especially because you're so taken in by its general existence. Cool.

5. Because the stars cost more than the dinosaurs, maybe.
This is scarier then any special effects the Jurassic World movies chucked out. SERIOUSLY! Why is the new film series against animatronics???

6. This is certainly not for the light-hearted.

10. That would’ve been nasty as hell.
I wish it would have queefed out a wet dino-fart at the end… That would have been amazing. https://t.co/TYXEtHba1k

As a long time fan of the ‘Jurassic Park’ series, this is truly a dream come true for me. In real life, I’d be probably running for my life but until I’m seeing it on a video recording, it’s great. That said, with the recent advancements in bio-engineering, would you want scientists to resurrect dinosaurs?
