Probably Trex was not slow, most paleontologists believes that it was running at up to 30 - 40 kph ( 20 - 25 mph).

Wrong. Tests done in 2005 showed that Trex ran around 25 miles per hour, however in 2006 it was revised. As there was inaccuaracy to the test how the animatronic was balanced like T-rex, scientists now realized it ran only 15 miles per hour. It was Spinosaurus that ran 25 mile per hour.

Yeah T-rex is Slow hunter.It is just oppurtunistic predator.Scientist now believe that t-rex may an ambush type.Some evidence were found.

Yeah, that's my idea of him. A hunter not good for chasing, instead ambushing. If anything got close it would spring and attack, if it escaped, T-rex would most probably not chase it, unless it was slower.

OR unless the Rex wasnt alone, some scientist think rex hunted in small family groups, habing the younger more slender,faster rex, scare the prey into an ambush, if the sub-adult fails to bring the prey down theres always mom waiting nearby to make the kill, pretty much like the daspletosaurus did in Little Das's hunt.

Yeah, I saw that technique in WDRA too. The analogies of Trex pack hunting is like lions, the lionesses are slimmer than males, and they are the ones who chase the prey like gazelle into the jaws of the male lion. Trex may have done the same thing. Like a youngster would move into a herd of Anatotitan, then another youngster may ambush and both will lead it into the adult rex that kills it.

exactly, and if anyone else remembered the firs Jurassic park movie, the rex ambushed the gallimimus herd, she waited in the trees then came out of there to bring the galli down

Yeah, exactly. That's the kind of stuff that rex is, the ultimate predator, with the third most powerful bite force, but with one of the last fastest large carn speeds.
