The author, Steve Brussatte, is a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh. [1] A review in The Times described him as "a man who ranks as one of the leading experts in his field: a palaeontologist who seems to have studied with all the greats and to have dug up fossils everywhere that matters."

Stevens estimated that Tyrannosaurus had 13 times the visual acuity of a human and surpassed the visual acuity of an eagle, which is 3.6 times that of a person. Stevens estimated a limiting far point (that is, the distance at which an object can be seen as separate from the horizon) as far as 6 km (3.7 mi) away, which is greater than the 1.6 km ...
