How Dinosaurs Got a Grip on Climbing Hills

 In my last "This Week in Dinosaurs", I wrote very very briefly about an article describing a trackway showing footprints from two different types of dinosaurs, a meat-eating two legged dinosaur (a theropod) and a two legged plant eating dinosaur (an ornithischian- or bird hipped dinosaur). I recently had the pleasure to come across the following blog post in my RSS reader. Brian Switek (of Dinosaur Tracking and Laelaps, as well as soon to be author of his first book "Written in Stone") has provided a more in depth writeup of this story.

Enjoy!
