Walking? Let's look closer. This is an Allosaurus foot. The Allosaurus walked on it, of course, but its feet were especially good at kicking and fighting! Look at the toes, and imagine the long claws that made this foot a dangerous weapon.

Human feet were made for walking. The heel bones are larger than in most animals and offer solid support for walking and running.

Dinosaur fossils are rarely found in complete skeletons. Usually the bones are scattered and paleontologists have to sort them and piece them back together.
