(UNIVERSAL)
Now a scientist from the University of Manchester has discovered — and even he says he’s disappointed about this — that it’s likely T-Rexes couldn’t full-out run, limited to a rather unterrifying brisk walk.
Manchester’s William Sellers modeled T-Rex based on everything we know about its height, weight, and bone size and density, and movement. His team utilized multibody dynamic analysis supplemented by machine learning to produce what they say is the most accurate T-Rex model ever.
