My Dinosaur Speed

Deltadromeus
MemberCompsognathusAugust 09, 20135829 Views3 RepliesThis is a discussion about my and your opinions of what speed some dinosaurs can run at. I really don't want anyone to say that another person is wrong, because we just don't know. I think the fasted dinosaurs where the ornithomimids. Running at around 45-550 mph tops. Then the Dromeaosaurs, with Dromeaosaurus and Velociraptor running at up to 45 mph. Then Deltadromeus, at 40 mph. Here is where I run into trouble. It is widely accepted that Utahraptor could run at 20 mph, but here you have Deltadromeus running at 40 mph, and it is as long, and as heavy, if not heavier. Utahraptor has legs designed for running, and has the brain if a chase you down and hunt you kind of dinosaur. I at least think that Utahraptor could get 25-30 mph and hold for a bit of time, it had very powerful legs. I also think that the Spinosaurs could be pretty fast too. Like Spinosaurus, and mostly Suchomimus. Spino would be pretty fast because it has long legs and a light body compared to length. Most of the Spinosaurs have this, and I think the tops the fastest one could get is 30 mph. The Ceratosaurs are pretty fast too, and I think the adverse could get to 25 mph without to much difficulty. Maybe the highest is 30-33 mph. Abelisaurs, I really don't know. There pretty fast too, around 25-30 mph. Some of the lighter tyrannosaurs are fast too. Nanotyrannus, Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and Tarbosaurus to name a few, could get around 25-30 mph. T. rex is pretty slow, and I can't imagine him getting over 20. The Allosaurs could maybe make it a bit over thirty, maybe thirty five. The bigger and heavier Allosaurs like Giganotosaurus might make barely make it past 25. Mapusaurus could probably push 28-30.
The Pachysephalosaurs I bet could make it to 16'mph. The hadrosaurs could could make it to maybe 25 on hind legs. The ceratopsians I think never made it past 20. 18 is the most I can see. And the sauropods could make it to maybe 10-15 mph. The only reason that I have them s fast is that they have very long legs. The Therizinosaurs I think could make it around 30 give or take a few. I know that I'm missing other animals, but this is my list. I'd like to hear what you have to say, and what you think of the list.
Hi
