Lower rotational inertia and larger leg muscles indicate more rapid turns in tyrannosaurids than in other large theropods

SYNOPSIS: Tyrannosaurid dinosaurs had large preserved leg muscle attachments and low rotational inertia relative to their body mass, indicating that they could turn more quickly than other large theropods. METHODS: To compare turning capability in theropods, we regressed agility estimates against bo...
