Long-necked dinosaurs including diplodocus had a gait that was unlike any living animal but most similar to a hippopotamus, a new study shows.

Like hippos, sauropods walked with a 'diagonal gait' – where each step of a front leg is in tandem with, or very closely followed by, the hind leg on the opposite side.
