From the geometry of a toppling table to a new ‘grazing’ gait? And perhaps why monkeys walk weirdly
In a new paper published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, two Royal Veterinary College (RVC) experts exploited the geometry of a wobbly table to explain the ‘grazing’ gait in quadrupeds as well as walking in primates. Very simple … -
VetCompass™ links up to investigate Alabama Rot in dogs
Alabama Rot is a newly emergent disease in dogs but a study with linked data to VetCompass™ sheds new light on this phenomenon. Alabama Rot, also known as cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV), is a disease of unknown cause that is … -

New modelling of ancient fossil movement reveals important step in the evolution of posture in the ancestors of dinosaurs and crocodiles
Scientists from the RVC and University of Bristol used three-dimensional computer modelling to investigate the hindlimb of Euparkeria capensis–a small reptile that lived in the Triassic Period 245 million years ago -
How gliding barn owls could be the key to improved flight of small aircraft
New research from the RVC shows potential to reduce drag Aeronautical engineers have long looked to birds to develop more efficient and aerodynamic designs. Thanks to a new study observing gliding barn owls by researchers at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), there is now evidence that tail postures can minimise drag.
