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 … -

Mobile Equine Endoscopy Service
The RVC's equine practice vets, working in Hertfordshire and the adjoining counties, aim to provide top quality care for your horse in their home environment at your yard or stables, as much as possible. -
Endoscopy
An endoscope is a small flexible camera that we can use to visualise internal problems within the horse, typically in the respiratory tract but also involving the digestive or urogenital tracts. The RVC's equine team has a variety of portable … -
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. -
Equine Stem Cell Therapy Research
The Royal Veterinary College pioneered the first use of stem cell therapy for tendon injuries in horses. Equine stem cell therapy is also being used for equine joint disease treatment at RVC Equine -
Reasons behind mosquitoes’ unusual flight behaviour identified in new study
Research led by scientists from the RVC has identified aerodynamic features which help explain these features. -
