幸運的是，這只狩獵的霸王龍擁有著白堊紀最靈敏的感覺器官。

So, they can clearly see prey from as far away as 6 kilometers.

Critically, both eyes face forwards, and their line of sight overlaps.
兩只眼睛都朝向正前方，它們的視角相互重疊。
So each eye looks at the same object from a slightly different angle.
所以觀察目標時每只眼睛的角度略有不同。
That means T. Rex can experience the world in 3D.
這就意味著霸王龍能以立體視角觀察世界。
There's very little in the environment of T. Rex that would escape its attention.

For the T. Rex hungry after months of growing her eggs, making a kill may mean the difference between life and death.

Ankylosaurus is a herbivore, but it built like a tank.

Covered in steel-like armor, T. Rex's 3D vision ensures the reptile stands out from the background.

T. Rex is impressive and it's powerful, but compare to Ankylosaurus, it is relatively lightly built.

Light, but extremly strong, the hide of Ankylosaurus is built like a bullet-proof vest.
質輕，但是非常堅固，甲龍的外殼就像是防彈背心一樣。
And most importantly, Ankylosaurus is armed with a deadly weapon. A bony club.
最重要的是甲龍有個致命的武器。骨棒。
If that club were to connect into the skull of the T. Rex, or into the shin and foot of the T. Rex, it will shatter those bones.
如果這根骨棒擊中霸王龍的頭骨或者脛骨和腳部，將會造成粉碎性骨折。
I think that one good blow by the tail club will be enough to deter this Tyrannosaurus.
我認為這根骨棒要是正中要害足以擊退霸王龍。
Ankylosaurus are plant eaters, but that designed to kill.
