Triceratops was a quadruped, meaning that it walked on all four legs. They weren't designed for speed, but that doesn't mean they couldn't travel rapidly for short bursts, similar to elephants. Triceratops also had a special ability to quickly rotate, which was useful in defending itself against predators like Tyrannosaurus.

Because Stegosaurus had much longer hind limbs than forelimbs, it couldn't have traveled very fast on all four legs. At 5.5 tons, it was also too heavy to run or walk on hind legs like hadrosaurs could. Thus, the top speed of an adult Stegosaurus was probably about 4 to 5 miles per hour.

The fastest dinosaur was probably Ornithomimus, which speeds along at 40 mph (miles per hour!)

That is faster than an ostrich, the fastest running bird today!!!
