‘Jurassic Park’ got T. rex wrong? Study reveals giant had ostrich-like gait and toe-first foot structure
Forget the lumbering giant! New research suggests Tyrannosaurus rex walked on its toes, much like modern birds, rather than flat-footed. This digitigrade movement, supported by fossil analysis and footprint studies, could mean T. rex was faster than previously thought, with short bursts reaching up to 25 mph. This finding redefines our understanding of the iconic predator's locomotion.
