'''''[[Valley of the T-. Rex''']]'' is a 2001 [[Discovery Channel]] [[TV Documentary]] in which renowned paleontologist (and notorious ''T. rex'' hater) Jack Horner discusses his theories about the [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|eponymous animal]]'s supposedly carnivorous nature. He presents fact after fact that allegedly proves that the "King of Dinosaurs" was nothing more than a mere sluggish scavenger, and an ugly one at that, much to the contrary of popular belief.
 
The program received some criticism due to Horner's negligence to take note of any evidence that might confirm the opposite of his theories.

=== The work provides examples of: ===
* [[Badass]]: What the ''T. rex'' was '''not''' in Horner's opinion.
* [[False Dichotomy]]: Pure hunter or pure scavenger? Why can't ''T. rex'' be a bit of both?
Line 12:
** That having been said, not all of Horner's facts make sense. [[Fridge Logic|Could an animal that size support itself by being lucky enough to constantly bump into still-edible dinosaur carcasses whenever it was hungry?]]
* [[Stock Footage]]: From Discovery's former dinosaur show, ''[[When Dinosaurs Roamed America]]''.
* [[The Makeover]]: Inverted. Horner takes a standard [[C GiCGI]] ''Tyrannosaurus'' and turns it disgustingly ugly -- orugly—or, in his mind, more realistic.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: A meta-example. What has previously been seen as the ultimate predator is actually a pathetic carrion stealer. At least, that was what the documentary set out to accomplish.
* [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]]
