Letter: It's time to rehabilitate the image of T. rex

Published 8 April 2026

From Peter Brooker, London, UK

I have appointed myself PR adviser to Tyrannosaurus. The name is rubbish. Tyrants are cruel, arrogant guys who make decent people’s life a misery – lots of them are still around, alas. There is zero evidence that
T. rex ever did that. All they ever wanted was breakfast, lunch and dinner, and some odd snacks (28 March, p 38).
