T-Rex A Slow Mover
Ant writes "Link: New
models of the leg muscles of
Tyrannosaurus Rex suggest that a real
T-Rex might not have passed the
screen test for "Jurassic Park."
Stanford University researchers writing
in the British journal Nature this week
suggest that a T-Rex could not have
been able to run as fast as the one in
the movie -- and might not have been
able to run at all.
"There is no way you could fit enough
muscle into its body for that kind of
locomotion," said John Hutchinson,
co-author of the Nature article. "You
wouldn't have enough room left over for
all the other body parts.""
