Even the ladies have very much to say of these

brunswickii from the Red Head Member is a
quadrupedal trackway with a manus impression smaller than that of the pes, although very similar in digital proportions and with the pes generally being less distinctly impressed.
This latter paradigm, that has dominated our vision of the evolution of bipedalism since the 1960s, held that because chimpanzees and gorillas move on the ground by
quadrupedal horizontal-trunked knuckle-walking, the pre-bipedal ancestor of hominins must also have passed through a terrestrial knuckle-walking phase (e.
Kangaroos, kangaroo rats and jerboas all have a more forward-shifted foramen magnum compared with their
quadrupedal (four-legged walking) close relatives.
Washington, July 7 ( ANI ): Researchers have found that bipedal desert rodents are able to co-exist with their
quadrupedal counterparts by employing a diverse set of jumps, hops and skips.
A well-known study excluding kangaroo rats from long-term monitoring plots in southeastern Arizona has demonstrated that small,

Chesterton was at first influenced by Belloc's ideas, but the mutual admiration eventually developed into a friendship and life-long intellectual cooperation which George Bernard Shaw saw as a "most dangerous conspiracy," a

The solidly
quadrupedal stance of the later giant sauropods, such as Gordo, the ROM's Barosaurus, and the massive Futalognkosaurus, which will be on display during the Ultimate Dinosaurs exhibition, mirrored the baby proportions of their forebears, an evolutionary phenomenon known as paedomorphosis--adults retaining juvenile traits.
