The unique artistic talents of Darren Naish: sauropods as agile, cursorial bipeds

(Before It's News)

Building on the pioneering work of Karbek (2002), Darren Naish (circa 2004) conceived a theory of sauropod locomotion that has not been as widely accepted as he might have hoped. Sadly, other projects captured Naish’s attention, and his interest in writing up his theory waned. All that now remains of this sadly unpublished work is this speculative life restoration:

We can only lament the loss of this unique perspective to science.
