Chicago Field Museum

I would like to go to the Field Museum in Chicago, so I can see the most complete Tyrannosaurus named Sue.  People think that this dinosaur runs fast, but he is very slow.  People think that he is a scavenger, because of his bones. Other people think that he runs fast and chases other dinosaurs to eat them. But because he runs so slow he has to be a scavenger. He runs at something around 6 mph.

I read on Fact Monster that Sue's foot bones were studied so closely, scientists found out Sue only walks at 6 mph and runs at 15mph.

She was a lot slower than they thought.

Sues fossils were so preserved that they saw where muscles and tendons once were.

Check out these websites for more information.

  1. I will admit I was one of those that thought they could run fast! Good to know they didn't!
