It's a good question, when you think about it. Birds and T-Rex are from the same lineage, so how come we don't have 12 foot tall, 12,000 pound birds? Smithsonian article gives some reasons (you won't get a flying T-rex because of the amount of energy it'd take to get one off the ground)... and discusses "terror birds" (only ten feet tall)... but no startling conclusions: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-n...arsely-api?itm_source=most-popular&itm_medium=parsely-api
