Congrats to the T. rex on hitting 3.5 mph, my gym has been promising me that since January.
Scientists Calculated How Fast a T. rex Walked: About 4 MPH
Paleontologists identified a 23-foot trackway of four fossilized footprints in North Dakota's Hell Creek Formation, dating to 66 million years ago, as the first known trackway left by an adult Tyrannosaurus rex. The sandstone casts, up to 3.3 feet long with a roughly 13-foot stride, indicate the animal walked in a near-straight line at 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour, a brisk human pace. Three prints will be airlifted to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science for display.
