One easily sees in the Mesozoic Era, one where the dinosaurs roamed Earth, great variance in anatomical structure and in which ecological niche was occupied. From these packages of operating speeds-ranging from the swift to the sluggish-comes a very interesting reflection of daily life and survival strategy. Various factors might have influenced the locomotion speed of dinosaurs, including evolutionary pressures for specialisation, habitat needs, and requirements to feed or escape from other predators. The diversity in locomotion speeds upholds the complexity of dinosaur life far away from simple characterizations that the popular media often uses. It opens up a vision…
