      @TeapotEngineer, @KStrachan, @Joe, @akinfenwa junior. Locomotion is a word that describes “how things move”. So, dinosaur locomotion means “how dinosaurs move”. We use engineering methods at the University of Manchester to work out how dinosaurs used to get around. All we have to guide us are the bones we find in the ground and what we can learn by watching similar animals that are alive today.
