A hilarious video has recently surfaced on the Internet that shows police chasing a ‘T-Rex’ down the street. Wait... what? The scene that may look like a budget version of the Jurassic Park film series shows cops pursuing the ‘dinosaur’ on the run.

If you are worried that the extinct species has come back to life, then don’t be. The reptile is actually a fancy dress reveller wearing a huge ‘T-Rex’ costume. Captured on the dash cam of the police car, the video is now making people laugh out loud after it was shared on Twitter by Charles Cross Police Team. In the clip, the officers are heard laughing hysterically and one of them even jokes about its impressive speed.
“Just another late shift in #Plymouth - We can confirm the Doyouthinkhesawus is NOT extinct and they can run real fast! Let’s hear your best ‘Why did the dinosaur cross the road’ jokes please,” reads the post’s caption which was shared on July 21.
