The closest living relative to Tyrannosaurus rex is the chicken.
The resemblance may not be immediately obvious
Protein extracted from 68 million-year-old T. rex bones has shed new light on the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds.So a T rex steak would be white meat, not red.
Researchers compared organic molecules preserved in the T. rex fossils with those of living animals, and found they were similar to chicken protein.

Another busy day today, out of the house. I went to visit Devi at her house for lunch (chicken green curry) and tried to help her find out what was wrong with her cordless phone, and her broadband connection. No luck on either.
Emily is over tonight for dinner of lamb curry (tastes better the next day) and a catch up of Prison Break.
I miss the Sunday afternoon naps on the couch together with Keiser. I miss Keiser.

OH! I see the resemblance .. The Tyrannosaurus rex was a chicken! He wasn't so big and bad. I mean, the Bogdanasaurus could take the rex!

We miss Keiser, too. We miss her posts, and her stories of lap-sittings and dinners. She was a smart girl.
