一项大学生研究显示 T. Rex像鸟儿一样 跑在脚尖上 速度达到37英尺/秒 根据化石和生物机械分析
A college student's study suggests T. rex ran on tiptoes like birds, reaching speeds up to 37 ft/sec, based on fossil and biomechanical analysis.
一个21岁的大西洋学生学院的Adrian Boeye使用生物机械模型来挑战T. Rex缓慢地平脚移动的想法,认为它像现代鸟类一样在脚尖上跑动,能够更快、更灵活地移动。
A 21-year-old College of the Atlantic student, Adrian Boeye, used biomechanical modeling to challenge the idea that T. rex moved slowly on flat feet, suggesting instead it ran on its tiptoes like modern birds, enabling faster, more agile movement.
他的研究发表在皇家社会开放科学杂志上,发现青少年T.rexes每秒可以达到37英尺的速度,可能猎杀较小的猎物,而成年人则伏击较大的食草动物。
His study, published in Royal Society Open Science, found juvenile T. rexes could reach speeds up to 37 feet per second, likely hunting smaller prey while adults ambushed larger herbivores.
通过分析化石足迹和骨骼数据,包括来自“Sue ” Boeye的研究的数据,这些研究被专家称赞为本科生的特例,从而凸显了恐龙与现代鸟类的鸟状运动和进化联系。
By analyzing fossil footprints and skeletal data, including from “Sue,” Boeye’s research, praised by experts as exceptional for an undergraduate, highlights the dinosaur’s bird-like locomotion and evolutionary ties to modern birds.
