T. Rex, "tyrant lizard king," was one of the largest-ever meat eating land animals.  The bi-pedal giant grew to some 40 feet (12 meters) and weighed up to 7 US tons (6.5 metric tons) and small two-fingered hands that were actually surprisingly strong.

One of my assistants, a bit of an electronics buff wired all the cameras to a single switching box so I could fire them all with one button. It so happened that the previous tenants had vacated the week before so we had the whole wing of the floor to ourselves.  We strung climbing rope through the windows and around the building as a main lifeline and clipped ourselves onto the line with harnesses.  The whole heavy contraption was lowered and raised about thirty times over rush hour pedestrian traffic some 57 stories above Lexington Avenue as we changed film backs and adjusted exposures and made slight adjustments in camera angles.
