How Fast Was T-Rex?
Scientists figure out how fast Tyrannosaurus rex could move by studying its bones and muscles. Most estimates land around 12 miles per hour – about as fast as a kid on a bike. Weighing several tons, it wasn’t exactly a sprinter. Like birds, T-Rex walked on its toes, with three big toes pointing forward. Its long strides still helped it cover lots of ground.
