Scary robot dino turns dino-loving kid into a dino hater

5/8/2012

When Zach was two years old, he loved dinosaurs, so his parents probably figured taking him to a park with animatronic dinos would be the time of his life. But when you're 2, dinosaurs are probably much easier to handle in the pages of a picture book or as a toy. Running up against one that's lurking in the trees, moves on its own and growls is bound to trigger a flight reaction in even the bravest kid. And sure enough, in this video (posted in 2009, but surging in popularity), Zach comes face-to-face with a mighty, four-foot-tall T-Rex, and after careful consideration, bails, shouting "RUN!" as his little legs carry him to safety as fast as they can, while his parents watch (and film) in amusement.
