Was a Tyrannosaurs rex faster than todays cheetah?
No, T-rex was definitely not as fast as a cheetah. Many paleontologists believe T-rex was slow, not exceeding a speed of 15 miles per hour, which is not even as fast as a fast human runner. Personally, I believe the higher estimates are more likely, and these range from 35 to 40 miles per hour. Cheetahs, however, run at 65 or more miles per hour, which is still must faster than T-rex.
