Walk like a Theropod

[Blind Hemingway]

To figure out how theropod dinousaurs walked, you could build an elaborate computer model… or you could attach a fake tail to a chicken's butt. Scientists from the University of Chile, the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago opted for the latter approach in their research.

I might need to look up the tail design. Because I have chickens in the backyard that I could use for... research. Yeah, research. ^^

Sometimes, the simplest solution really is the best one. I actually find this to be a genius of an idea because of how similar the bodies of dinosaurs and chicken are. It is simply brilliant in its simplicity and I say this makes a good amount of sense. Good for the person who thought of this!

If people need to see the similarities in skeletons to a theropod to one of the earliest birds to modern chicken.
