Bruh, what cherry picking. Literally in the exact same movie you have velociraptors stalking prey in groups and the dilophosaurus doing their own patronizing thing. If we look to other movies, you've got Xenomorphs, you've got tremor worms, you've got pumpkin head, you've got Moder (The Ritual), you've got the Blair Witch, etc.

There're plenty of good stalking monsters in film, some of which that you don't even know are there till it's too late.

EDIT:also, we see literally a few scenes later the T-Rex come outta nowhere and grab a gallimimus no problem, so they're even shown to be decent ambush predators in the same movie.

The T-Rex was celebrating having climbed a 300m sheer wall with only it's teeny, tiny arms

And predators in movies waste so much energy chasing one miniscule prey, which yield insignificant amount of calories, for hours if not days. Ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood may have just discovered the first known example of an animal that exhibit autism.

Hum... Owls and tigers know how to make a lot of noise too. We don't really know if the tyrannosaur is hunting or just trying to get rid of the people.

Meanwhile, humans: walking at a faster than average pace at the prey until it can’t run anymore.

I know deer can vocalize, but I have never heard it in my many encounters with them. They either stand and stare or just run away. In games you can home in on them by the constant yelping.

Everything had to do a tilt head and roar. Nothing just kills when the characters do mundane things like putting on socks.

Predators make a lot of sound when defending their territory. Perhaps T. Rex wasn't hunting.

There are lots of different success strategies in nature and perhaps in the era of megafauna the direct approach would've been more viable. I'm not sure that we know. The depiction of the T-Rex in Jurassic Park is pretty out of date in general, but it's also from over 30 years ago.

Yes, and all snakes rattle and hiss constantly. No mater the species, they can't help themselves.

I recall reading that trex was probably a scavenger and hunter, so screaming loud to get other scavengers to fuck off is legit

Also just buzzing from finally getting to tear down that fence

It was just conditioned from eating those goats. I bet it was the kind that faints when it’s scared and just falls over.

Clever girl...

I have a hard time imagining a stealthy t-rex. He's going to be making some noise even if he tiptoes.
