"We recently added ‘blinders' to the dinosaurs by restricting their ‘vision' to accurate angles calculated from the position of their eye sockets in their skulls (see new sight and smell variables added to define dinosaur species). After restricting the T. rex's vision to 55 degrees we observed some unexpected behavior: while pursuing prey a T. rex would occasionally ‘lose sight' of his target and not be able to reacquire it. Upon investigation we discovered that the cause of this was that the T. rex would advance, single-mindedly, towards where the prey is now. Under some circumstances, and if the simulation's ‘time slices' were sufficiently larger (> 8 seconds), and if the prey moved away at an oblique angle, or disappeared behind a hill, it was possible that their prey was no longer observable within the restricted angle of vision. The solution was to give the T. rex the ability to anticipate and calculate its prey's position in the future…"
