There is a scene in the movie where a Tyrannosaurus rex chases a car and runs faster than the car. Past studies have indeed estimated that the fastest running speed of Tyrannosaurus Rex can be as high as 50 kilometers per hour, but according to newer and more accurate simulation studies, the running speed of Tyrannosaurus Rex is about 20 to 29 kilometers per hour.
Tyrannosaurus is good at running, but not as fast as the movie depicts
Mariana Di Giacomo, a conservation specialist at Yale University's Peabody Museum of National History, said, "The thing to remember is the maximum speed and the maximum sustainable speed. speed."
"Marathon runners cannot run as fast as sprinters, and sprint distances are shorter because they cannot maintain high speeds if they are stretched."
"Maybe Tyrannosaurus could run very fast over short distances, but not yet outrun a car."
