Researchers have revisited a 50-year-old method for estimating dinosaur speeds, utilizing modern-day birds as a proxy. The study, published in [insert journal name if available, or 'a scientific journal'], examined the relationship between footprint characteristics and speed in birds walking through mud. By analyzing the imprints, scientists aimed to refine the accuracy of speed estimations derived from fossilized dinosaur tracks. The original method relies on formulas linking stride length and
