[dropcap=”small”]F[/dropcap]rom what we’ve seen in the trailers for the upcoming Jurassic World, scientists have created a new breed of dinosaur from scratch, the result of which being the new park’s main attraction: Indominus Rex.
According to the official Jurassic World site the new dinosaur and the process of its creation is described as follows:
“We set out to make Indominus the most fearsome dinosaur ever to be displayed at Jurassic World. The genetic engineers at our Hammond Creation Lab have more than delivered. At first glance, Indominus most closely resembles a T. Rex. But its distinctive head ornamentation and ultra-tough bony osteoderms can be traced from Theropods known as Abeliosaurs. Indominus’ horns have been placed above the eye orbit through genetic material hybridized from Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, and Giganotosaurus. Fearsome indeed. Indominus’ roar is estimated to reach 140-160db— the same as a 747 taking off and landing. And it can reach speeds of 30 mph… while confined to its enclosure. Come experience Indominus Rex for yourself beginning this summer. If you dare.”
Wow, none of that sounds like a good idea, though it’ll probably make for a really badass looking dinosaur. As of today, we have received our first glimpse (and we really mean glimpse) of the Indominus Rex.
