COULD YOU OUTRUN A T-REX?

 

 

Recent studies have revised upward the estimated speed of T-Rex to between 15 and 25 miles per hour. If you're in good physical shape, you may outurun the slowest T-Rex, but not the fastest. This is something to keep in mind as science now tries to resurrect extinct species.

Regarding other theropods (large carnivorous dinosaurs of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, characterized by bipedal locomotion, large jaws, and short forelimbs) the smaller they are, the faster they run.
