I want to believe T-rex could really move as fast has in Jurassic park. I’m sick of hearing people theorizing he was a slow scavenger when I look at ostriches with very similar body mechanics and how explosive they can be running. T-rex’s body looks almost 50-50 in weight distribution from head to tail, skeleton is so well balanced...just like modern birds.

When I was in middle school, I wrote a paper on how T-Rex probably hopped. I based it on the similarities in morphology to the kangaroo. I got an A for the argument and lots of laughs in the teachers’ lounge.
