I question whether one should fear a T-Rex or not.
First of all, they may have been scavengers and not predators.
Secondly, would they even bother with something so small as a human even if they were predators? I mean, do lions eat mice? ๐ค
I can't speak to lions and mice, but chickens or even just birds in general will peck at anything smaller than them that moves.
Most scavengers will gladly accept an easy meal, just like chickens will gobble up little bugs they see on the ground without giving it a second thought.
You eat hamburgers, it's a similar scale comparison
