This T. Rex Dominates 'American Ninja Warrior' Course Like It's No Big Deal

How did he train for this?

If you've ever wanted to appear on "American Ninja Warrior” but feared you wouldn't be allowed to compete because, well, you're a T. rex that's supposedly extinct, take heart.

At 65 million years old, this carnivore from the Cretaceous period dominated the course in a way we've never seen anyone or anything do it. The Tyrannosaurus rex surprised the audience at the Atlanta trials, making it WAY farther than most expected him to -- especially because of his short arms. 

For those who say this is just a man in a T. rex costume, we dare you to dream. Watch the dino's epic run above.
