I know, plenty of people have done this. Here's what I'm going to different: Details. Other people simply say the thing was the juvenile Rex from TLW because, well, they can. There's little to no evidence to prove it, there's little to no evidence to disprove it.
In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the only Tyrannosaurus we see in any decent light is the juvenile. She's grey, at least, with a tan/green underbelly.
We kinda see the enraged father Tyrannosaurus in some half decent light. He's green, there's no denying it.
In Jurassic Park 3, the Tyrannosaurus is green. Denying it would mean you're colour blind, or just plain stupid.
See? Green as a healthy lawn. He's even greener than TLW male, which brings us to my next arguement.
Perhaps the JP 3 Rex was a completely different individual. There was no implication at all that Rexy had ever been on Sorna (well, that Sorna existed), so it's entirely possible that the JP 3 Rex was a random Tyrannosaurus (kinda like how Spino was a completely random addition that wasn't on InGen's list) and was set loose on the opposite side of the island. If I'm not mistaken, TLW took place on the Northwest section of Sorna, while JP 3 was on the Southeast section. Isla Sorna is (correct me if I'm wrong) 80 square miles in area. That's a lot of land to cover for one individual to go, especially since there were only those three Tyrannosaurs in TLW.
Still not enough? Let's get into size. This is also to prove the thing was a sub adult. It clearly states that the Tyrannosaurus was 14.5 feet tall and 37 feet long in JP 3.
Didn't find TLW Rex sizes, I've heard in the ballpark of 16 feet tall and 43 feet long. I know what you're thinking, so don't bother posting it. "But the genetic engineering sped up its growth rate." I know this, and that's a valid point. Here's my argument.
TLW took place in 1997. The infant was about 6 feet long and waist height. Give or take of course. Four years later, in 2001, the Rex is 14.5 feet tall and 37 feet long. Genetic engineering or not, that's quite a bit of growth for a Rex in four years. Well, that's what I think, and I believe the JP 3 sub adult to be a different Tyrannosaurus.
Agree with this or not, I don't give a damn, this is what I think, and if you disagree, good for you, I could care less.
Forgot this beauty of a scene.
One's green, one isn't, the infant isn't clear.
Jack of all trades. Master of none
I know, I just felt they should keep that in mind.
Back to the Rex, everything points to it being a sub-adult male. Nothing more, nothing less. It also had scars on it's face which would indicate it had battled for territory with other young males, a behavior seen in many modern animals. Just thought you guys might find that interesting.
(If you look at the middle of the snout, there they are, plain as day)
