According to Harvard’s Bob
m Bakker, the only way one
dinosaur could have walked
around — assembled the
way he was — would have
been to travel in road ruts.

Once the bones are
® assembled, the fossils yield
valuable information. Bone
analysis, for instance,
reveals a speed limit for
dinosaurs: many could
travel no faster than 12 mph
‘& or their legs would break.
But other killer dinosaurs

with well-controlled tails to
w keep their balance when
they were using their
terrible toe talons to fell
their prey.
