Yikes.<\/p>\n<p>The Jurassic World website further extrapolates on this fearsome animal, noting that it is a genetically engineered amalgamation of\u00a0Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, and Gigantosaurus. Those don&#8217;t sound the most friendly. The Indominus Rex is basically a T-Rex+its nastiest relatives+steroids. Let&#8217;s add the fact that this thing is &#8220;currently&#8221; forty feet long&#8211;my guess is this means the featured Indominus Rex isn&#8217;t fully grown and that Hammond Creation Lab has no idea of the size it will reach once\u00a0it is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/maxresdefault1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15124\" src=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/maxresdefault1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"maxresdefault\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other details include the facts that its roar is the equivalent of a 747 taking off and landing, and it can reach up to 30mph&#8230;&#8221;in its enclosure&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Way to go, Hammond Creation Lab. You obviously didn&#8217;t learn from the first incident nearly twenty-two years ago, and now your God-complex is going to be your undoing (again). How about let&#8217;s not give this man-made monstrosity any room to wreak the devastating havoc it sounds perfectly capable of?
