This speculation about the sub-adult T. rex comes from JPLegacy. They said he was a subadult "due to [ the JPIII rex] measuring only twelve feet in height at the hip and thirty-seven feet long" and that he had a brighter skin color than the Tyrannosaur Buck from TLW.

First, the JPIII rex is around 4 meters tall according to all the size charts I could find, which is the size estimated for actual full grown Tyrannosaurs and Rexy, who is definitely an adult. Second, not all Tyrannosaurus found were 40ft like Sue, the length of the JPIII rex is around the size of the specimen "Stan". Finally, a brighter coloration doesn't really mean that it's a sub-adult. Several dinosaurs in the films have had a variety of skin colors, like Parasaurolophus.

I didn't mean to go off-topic here, but I wanted to give support to QuakingStar on this matter.
