Hmm… on a technical point… T-rexes being, you know, dinosaurs and therefore kinda-sorta reptilian, how can you tell what gender ‘Tess’ is? The vast majority of reptiles (simply don’t do sexual dimorphism. It’s really hard to tell the boys from the girls just by looking at them, there being usually no visible body parts to indicate one way or the other. Yes, some male lizards have colorful dewflaps under their necks, but those are only inflated/erected/whatever under certain circumstances and just aren’t visible the rest of the time. For most reptiles, telling the difference involves getting up close and very, very, VERY personal, probably not something to be considered with a t-rex. Perhaps ‘Tess’ is a boy, and merely identifies as a girl. Who’s going to dispute it, and how would the verify it without becoming lunch?

A playful T-Rex, er… Tess. What kid hasn’t wanted a dinosaur to follow them home?

Shouldn’t it be T-Regina?

From what paleontologists tell us, the females were bigger.

Don’t know but with the way things are going I’m ready to “turn on, tune in and drop out”.

So it’s the forest of niceness unless you happen to be an oyster.

Is there a map to this place? It looks awesome. No guns, only joy and friendly dinosaurs to keep out booger-brains of any gender. What’s not to like?

Is it just me, or was that reference to pearl diving (in the no-boys-allowed forest) a subtle euphemism?

Are we still sure this girl is not just a figment of Danae’s messed-up imagination?
