was troubled by the gait of the running Allosaurs. It's clearest on the frontal shot of the large female running towards the corpse of the collapsed Diplodocus. She bounces up and down in what seems to me a very inefficient way -- what a waste of energy! Is this a good construction, or did large theropods more like run with their bodies moving in a more or less straight horizontal line, like large running birds today? If my hunch is right, then what were the WWD people thinking?< Does anyone know; if and when this WWD
special on "Big Al" is going to be aired here in the US ( I take it Mike is
from the UK, or am I wrong? If so sorry)? I don't think I missed it, have
I?
Thanks.
