I think the writer of the article meant a rhea.

Anyway, despite Sellers' criticism of what I think is the Hutchinson "T. rex 
was a slowpoke" model, the results produced here don't really refute  
Hutchinson's conclusions about T. rex's speed. IIRC, Hutchinson felt that 
the speed of T. rex was between 11 and 25 mph---the speed Sellers got for T. 
rex here is well within that range.

Nonetheless, I would like to read the paper for the study itself. It would 
be an interesting read, especially if it discusses Hutchinson et al (and any 
problems with their work) in depth.
