How can Rexy be in JW?

I'm sure you all know that Rexy is going to return in JW. I was wondering...is that really possible? Let's see:

 

JW is going to take place 22 years after than Jurassic Park's events. Now, Rexy firstly appeared in Jurassic Park, right? So 22 years ago.

But of course Rexy wasn't a baby. By 1993, she was already fully grown.

JW will take place 22 years after than Jurassic Park, yet Rexy is going to return. That's bordeline impossible, given that Rexy was already fully grown on 1993. Bear in mind that Tyrannosaurus usually stopped growing at around 20.

Based on Erickson et. al (2004)

So we can assume that Rexy was already 20 by 1993...if she's going to appear in JW, she would be 42 years old. 

She would be very very very old, given that "Sue", the largest know Tyrannosaurus specimen, was 28 when it died. Ericknos et. al stated that "Sue"'s age should be close to the maximum for Tyrannosaurus. So, Rexy should be theorically died or at least very very very old. Yet, in her artwork, she doesn't like old.

Thus, I think that using Rexy in this film is somehwhat of strange.

I'm going to be honest, that last one was meant more as a joke. I do acknowledge its plausability though.

 

(To think I'm the skeptic! :P)

Uh huh...

 

Because The scar is a genetic trait that would carry over?

 

Nope.

 

Scar tissue wouldn't carry over, It'd also be a mighty foolish idea to CLONE, a dinosaur, You already possess DNA For...

 

So...

 

Yeah... 

Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way

I said freak genetics, anything is possible with freak genetics. (also did you not see my comment before yours? I know it's nonsense!)

Really good point regarding her age.

However captive animals as a rule live much longer than wild, carnivores even more so as they live such hazzardous lives. Perhaps then a 40plus year old TRex could be possible as I'm sure that she has recieved the best of care.

Yes, but Rexy became a wild animal in the first film. She escaped.

Hardly Gagadino. Rexy would have been the biggest badest carnivore on the Island, had plenty to eat and no competition. In the wild its survival of the fitest where carnivores compete against each other.

Okay, for comparison.
The oldest living Cassowary in captivity was about 50.

Saltwater Crocodiles can live between 70-100 years old.

Some birds can live up to or even over 100 years.

INGEN created their Dinosasurs to mature in the shortest time possible, this was about 5 years in the novels.

The Apatosaurs in Jurassic World reach full size in 10 years.

If Rexy was about 5 years old during the Isla Nublar Incident, she would be about 28 years old now. There is no confirmed lifespan for these animals so we can suggest she might not even be middle aged yet!
