New quiz question: True or False? You would have been able to hear T-Rex's footsteps. I think you would definitely have been able to feel them, but not necessarily hear them, so I'll say False. |

New quiz question: True or False? You would have been able to hear T-Rex's footsteps. False, but what you could probably hear was 'collateral damage' in the form of broken branches as it moved. |
