Indominus Rex Is ‘Jurassic World’s New Dinosaur, Here’s Its First Info

Briefly: Following that bad-ass trailer from last November, the crazy, genetically engineered dinosaur that will likely be terrorizing the hell out of the Jurassic World theme park has just been revealed.

It’s called Indominus Rex, and here’s its official description from its bio page:

We set out to make Indominus the most fearsome dinosaur ever to be displayed at Jurassic World. The genetic engineers at our Hammond Creation Lab have more than delivered.

 

At first glance, Indominus most closely resembles a T. Rex. But its distinctive head ornamentation and ultra-tough bony osteoderms can be traced from Theropods known as Abeliosaurs. Indominus’ horns have been placed above the eye orbit through genetic material hybridized from Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops and Giganotosaurus. Fearsome indeed.

 

Indominus’ roar is estimated to reach 140-160db—the same as a 747 taking off and landing. And it can reach speeds of 50km/h… while confined to its enclosure. Come experience Indominus Rex for yourself beginning this summer. If you dare.

It’s ‘Aggression Index’ is also listed as very high, so it’s probably not very happy, well, ever.
