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.
