Fun Facts About Fast Dinosaurs
The fastest dinosaurs were probably smaller two-legged runners. Gallimimus, which lived in Mongolia in the late Cretaceous, looked like a feather-free ostrich and was probably quite speedy. Estimates go up to about 30 miles per hour, but nobody knows for sure. Big dinos like T-Rex were probably slower. Scientists estimate dinosaur speed from footprints and bone structure.
What to Do With Your Finished Race
Cut out the three dinos and race them along a paper track using dice. Or hold a real dino race in the yard with a homemade finish flag. Whoever crosses first gets a cardboard medal.
Color Ideas for the Race
Every runner gets a color of their own:
