LONDON (AFP) - Tyrannosaurus Rex was not just a fearsome carnivore but would have been able to outrun a finely-tuned human athlete, according to research published by scientists Wednesday.

Researchers at the University of Manchester in northwest England calculated that T.Rex could reach speeds of up to 18 miles (28.4 kilometres) per hour, which is marginally quicker than a professional footballer.

Scientists have long questioned how fast the six-tonne beast could run. Some argued that it could only lumber around or walk because of its oversized leg muscles.

But biomechanics specialist Bill Sellers and palaeontologist Phil Manning believe they have come up with the definitive answer after using a supercomputer to determine the running speeds of five meat-eating dinosaurs.

The calculations were based on the skeletal and muscular structure of the two-legged predators, optimum gait and posture.

A 70-kilogramme (154-pound) human with the muscle and bone structure of a professional sportsman was estimated to have a top running speed of 17.7 mph, just under the 17.9 mph for a T.Rex.

A 20-kg Velociraptor was found to have a top speed of 24 mph; a 430-kg Dilophosaurus 23.5 mph; and a 1.4-tonne Allosaurus 21 mph.

But a three-kilogramme Compsognathus, which lived about 150 million years ago, was found to be five mph faster than the estimate for the fastest living animal on two legs — a 65-kg ostrich (35 mph).

The study was published by Britain’s leading scientific academy The Royal Society.

OK

Why are MFer’s getting paid to tell me how fast a damn T.Rex ran. What does this ish have to do with anything of relative importance?

Why are they wasting money on this type of ish….is a someone about to make Jurassic Park 8 or something and wants that ish realistic as possible. I mean is somebody gonna be sitting in the audience and bust out with “This is is fake ain’t no T.Rex’s ever run that fast….they only ran 17mph….ish 18 tops”

HELL NAW….

Like in 2000 years they are going to be doing research saying that the average human in 2007 ran 16mph, BUT a crack head during that same time period was able to run at 20 mph…coining that immortal phrase “you know you ain’t catchin’ no crack head”

F*ck it…I’m heading to Africa to find definitive evidence of the existence of the first afro…

OK i’m done…
