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.”
