Researchers even created a puter model of a giant chicken to learn more about the movements of the ever popular Tyrannosaurus Rex. By using high tech imagery, fossils, and the knowledge gained from the biology of barnyard animals, scientists now estimate the giant TRex could reach speeds of 16 kilometers per hour, far slower than the more than 70 kilometers per hour previously thought.These scientific findings are passed along to model designers, such as the creator of a sixfootlong mechanical TRex, a highlight of the new exhibit. The menacing skeleton39。t know what color they were but we try to be a little conservative in that regard, but nevertheless all the feathers you see, all the weird tail structures you see, is all stuff we found as fossils.Underneath the gingko trees, a feathered birdlike dinosaur chases on two legs after a large winged insect, the dinosaur39。 is heard more and more on Capitol Hill.)Script of News Item Two:The President is making it clear that leaving Afghanistan is not an option.
