However, these methods are very complicated, and scientists encounter many difficulties when trying to estimate the speed of a dinosaur. Comparing the distance between two consecutive footprints (in a sequence of preserved footprints) and the size of each footprint is another method used to estimate the movement speeds of ancient dinosaurs. The speed of a dinosaur is estimated by reconstructing a dinosaur’s muscle structure, its density, using the length of its limbs, the estimated centre of mass, etc. While speed may not be the most important thing for dinosaurs as big as these, it is definitely something to watch out for when it comes to being a big predator.

I’d hate to take the crown from the king of dinosaurs and hand it over to the Giganotosaurus, so here’s an analysis to see who was the more capable predator. The Giganotosaurus, a massive dinosaur that existed 30 million years before the T. Unfortunately, the absolute superiority of the T. From starring in the Jurassic Park movies and being the most talked-about dinosaur to entertaining everyone when their Internet doesn’t work, the T. rex has definitely gotten its fair share of attention. Well, at least as long as beauty is measured in the strength to rip apart those around you. With its enormous size, speed, and killer power, it’s hard to deny that it was ferocious, fierce, and beautiful. Tyrannosaurus Rex is, without a doubt, one of the coolest out of all the dinosaurs.
