THE WILD — There are times the animal world and the universe decide to team up and create an unexplainable event. Something so wild it seems it must have been conjured in the mind of a Hollywood screenwriter instead of nature just taking its course.
Events like the time frogs literally rained down in Serbia in 2007. How about when thousands of dead herring appeared on the shores of Norway only to disappear the next day. Or when millions of spiders fell from the sky down on Wagga Wagga, Australia, in 2012 and proceeded to blanket the area in webs.
We have a new oddity to add to the list, the great T. rex stampede of 2022.
The rare stampede was caught on camera in Washington, an area where the Tyrannosaurus rex is not native. In fact, the T-rex is no longer native to any area, considering it has been extinct for millions of years — or so we thought. I have some words to exchange with so-called scientists considering I am looking at video evidence of hundreds of short-arm predators racing one another in the Pacific Northwest.
Some fake news outlets will lead you to believe this is just a farce — that it's just people running in costumes at a race track known as Emerald Downs, but I'm not getting tricked. I know what's real and what's fake. Buckle up, my friends, because in addition to raining frogs and spiders and magical, dead herrings, we now have to deal with extremely competitive dinosaurs.
You could see this dino-sized phenomenon yourself tonight in Vernal, Utah, as part of the city's "Dinah SOAR Days" balloon festival and celebration this weekend. For more information, visit dinahdays.com.
