Wow, Douglas!
Tyrannosaurus rex strode -
Elongated femur, tibia and tarsi
In each leg enabling
Gigantic heavy paces.
Speedwise, what may we say?
Yes, such strides covered ground,
Doubtless eating distance up
Practically like prey!
Yet- what rate of progress?
Some suppose T. rex to have
Existed just by ambush-
Hiding till prey passed it,
Then a sudden lunge- Snap!
Perhaps pursuit (but- slow, swift? -
Tracking, chasing prey down?)
No-one knows which way, yet.
