T-Rex pose not scientifically accurate #29

from @salty-horse @ issue #536 in emojione repo.

The EmojiOne image for U+1F996 T-REX shows it nearly upright. While this is a popular look for the dinosaur, it does not reflect current scientific understanding. "Canonizing" it in an emoji will help perpetuate the myth.

I completely agree with this. We'll work on a major upgrade to our unscientific T-Rex for the next design update. Thx for the feedback! 👍🏼

Seems like you forgot about this in the 4.0 update. The t-rex is still almost upright, when the correct posture should be the body almost parallel to the ground, like this.
