I'd love to see an informed response as to why we think they ran instead of hopped. Is there a difference in the skeleton or muscles that would tell us?

Hip anatomy? Structured more like a bird hip rather than a reptile or kangaroo

I was watching a Carrion Crow hop around just yesterday. Fast movement was a hop. Slow movement was a walk.

Well, think more grounded birds such as ratites and pheasants.
