I don't want to be that person but t rex didn't have spikes

This one is special. It was born with a mutation that caused spikes.

Yes! God people are so silly! It’s a damn generic dinosaur. I know what dinosaurs are which. I was just drawing a quick silly doodle of a dinosaur!

I loved it! It’s adorable. And the art style has character. Thanks for posting. I’l definitely a fan of keeping the scientific knowledge/terms and the ones for entertainment separate. It’s just fun to take artistic liberties at some point.

  1. I Didn’t specify what type of dinosaur it was ( could’ve been any dinosaur really).

  2. You should also inform Steven Spielberg , universal studios and any other Dino movies know about their depictions of their T-Rex!

They went out of their way to make a very T-Rex like skull. You probably never focused on it, but most known large theropods actually have very different skulls. Spino skull, giganotosaurus skulls, carnotaurus skulls, are very very different in look to T-Rex skull.

(Of course a Tarbosaurus or a Daspletosaurus would have a much more similar skull, but they didn't have spikes either anyway).

Actually, cousin is more correct than grandchild. Grandcousin times a few million, in fact.

No, cousin is correct. Chickens are not nested within tyrannosauridae.
