TRex speed recalculated (the King was faster than reported *maybe*)

Here's the blurb - the article itself seems to be behind a "paywall", you can check for yourself (link below quote):

Abstract

The paper by Smith et al. (2016) included speed calculations performed from a tyrannosaur trackway at Glenrock, Lance Formation, Wyoming. These authors concluded that tyrannosaurs walked in speeds similar to those obtained for other large theropod, but faster than proposed for hadrosaurids, a potential prey. However, the calculations performed by Smith et al. (2016) suffered from methodological and computational errors, which greatly affected the reported results. Here I show that when speeds are correctly calculated from the Glenrock trackway, the obtained values are clearly (about 50–80 percent) higher than the wrong values quoted by these authors. This support even more a significant speed capability for tyrannosaurs that claimed by Smith et al. (2016)."

Yep, I told you so.

Nothing new. And in a few months or so, there will be a study contradicting this one. That is how it usually goes.

I 've never thought that t-rex is a slow animal. Gregory S. Paul also said in his book that the ankles are designed differently from slow animal like elephants. Seeing it hunts would be a sight to be hold.
