This one's a real pet peeve of mine. The _T. rex_ always sounded like it
was running on pile drivers. Any potential prey within miles would have
beaten a hasty retreat at the sound of those booming footfalls. Also,
tyrannosaurs had springy, flexible ankles, which would have made it very
difficult, if not indeed impossible, for a _T. rex_ to make that much noise,
even if it wanted to.
