So Jurrasic Park got it wrong. So did Journey to the center of the Earth. So did any and every movie that ever featured a T REX...running.
How did they get it wrong?
Extensive research was done on the T Rex, taking bone density and mass into calculations. By recreation and advancement in technology it has been proven that the T Rex...could NOT run.
At best it was a fast walker. Its sheer mass alone is a major hindrance, but actual running was impossible as the force generated would have broken its legs. It did not run down its prey. Instead it was more of a predatory hider that used surprise tactics when hunting.
It could not outrun a man.
