Tyrannosaurus Rex Enclosure
The ultimate cage for the ultimate predator, until the lights went out.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex Enclosure is the paddock that holds Jurassic Park's Tyrannosaurus on Isla Nublar. It became infamous when its electric fence failed: after Dennis Nedry deactivated the park's security system, the tour vehicles lost power next to the enclosure and the Tyrannosaurus broke through the depowered fence and attacked the tour group.
