<p>A study by researchers at Manchester University has poured cold water on the popular image of the Tyrannosaurus Rex speeding after its prey.</p><p>Using biomechanical analysis techniques, the study has found that the giant predator’s leg bones would have buckled beneath it at running speed. The research, published on July 18 on PeerJ.com</a>, was led by Prof William Sellers from Manchester University’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. He said the results of the study showed that any running gaits for T rex would probably have led to “unacceptably high skeletal loads”. Credit: Manchester University via Storyful</p><br />
