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