But Heinrich Mallison of Berlin's Museum of Natural History is challenging that view. He argues that the structure of dinosaur hind limbs is markedly different from that of modern mammals and birds, meaning the stride formula isn't a good indicator of what dinosaurs can really do.

There are people in this world who get paid for thinking about dinosaur butts? Damn. Probably gets a sabbatical every couple of years, too.

Maybe the dinos physical structure actually caused them to move with a hop.
Something similar to the “Kangaroo Hop” dance performed by Madelleine Kahn, Marty Feldman and Gene Wilder in “Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother.”

Researchers theorize that one species of dinosaur controlled the rest. They call it the Georgesaurus.
