I'm just surprised they didn't find a rex skeleton nearby complete with
Cretaceous "crash-cart and defibrillator" !!  After all, scaring an obligate
scavenger like rex with a sleeping lunch that suddenly wakes up and moves
would undoubtedly cause the poor delicate critter to collapse from fright
and have a heart-seizure on the spot!
