The issue as well is, as I've stated before, the Animatronics are made to work in FILM... ie: not reality. The rex's head, for instance, is smaller than it should be. This was done to create a specific organic in-camera effect. When you look at all the shots in the film with the rex, 90% of them have the rex's head right in the camera (which had it been bigger and true to size might have blocked the rest of the body) or it's at the front of the body, with the rest tapering off behind it.

This might not neccesarily account for 5 feet, but it does mean the rex is bigger than the animatronic.

Think of the movie "TITANIC." The ship they built to film on was 75% of the actual ships size and The Grant Staircase was made wider to accomodate Modern Human sizes (which yes, we are BIGGER than 100 years ago). Does that mean the TITANIC isn't as big as it WAS, or was it done to be cost effective...these choises have to be taken into account.

So again, what is reality? I think listing the information and allowing the reader to decide the size is the best option: at least youv'e been honest to the source material and to the options without stating "it is this"
