“They’re showing it on the news, John,” Elizabeth said. “They said there was a tyrannosaur running through the streets and that it ate a couple of people, a horse, and a policeman.”
“I can’t confirm any of that,” John said.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
—Calvin Coolidge
The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Horses were trained to bump up against people—barrels simulated human bodies—driving them back. This dinosaur was bigger than a person but smaller than a horse, leaving Kris wondering if Torino’s training was ingrained enough to handle a dinosaur.
The horse must rank high as one of man’s best friends. They provided transport for us for hundreds of years. They are also rather beautiful animals with a sense of humor. Fortunes have been made and lost on horses and some have become legends, such as that earthy little fighter Seabiscuit. In times of war, a man and horse together became the cavalry.
—Animal Kingdom

“Never mind that,” the younger man said. “Who the hell are you, and how do we get out of this nightmare?”

T. rex is an almost perfect killing machine. With large feet and powerful legs, it can reach speeds of up to 35 mph on open ground. Its massive jaws are so powerful, it could bite through the frill of a triceratops. As we have seen in the preserves, the only animal a T. rex has to fear is another T. rex.
I’ve seen ’em. That’s what I’m saying. I’ve seen ’em. Dinosaurs popping up all over the damn place. It’s the government, I’m saying. They’re loosing those dinosaurs to scare people, so we’ll beg them to protect us. And how will they protect us? By taking away more of our rights, that’s how.
There was little enough to celebrate in the dwindling Community.
