Good morning fellow Zoochat members! I have decided to undertake the thrilling task of creating a dinosaur hybrid for an art project!! I am looking for information regarding to the fastest dinosaur. The internet and my books all have mixed results as to what the fastest dinosaur was, and how fast it could run. Does anyone have any leads or resources they can send my way? Thanks!
According to this article University of California Museum of Paleontology(Dinosaur Speeds), it is very hard to concretely tell which Dinosaur species was the fastest, although it is possible to make estimates based on morphology, preserved footprints and biomechanics. The article mentions that the fastest speed found by preserved footprints was by a medium-sized Therapod (although they don't know which on) running at 27 mph.
