The scaling of ground reaction forces and duty factor in monitor lizards: implications for locomotion in sprawling tetrapods

Geometric scaling predicts a major challenge for legged, terrestrial locomotion. Locomotor support requirements scale identically with body mass (α M(1)), while force-generation capacity should scale α M(2/3) as it depends on muscle cross-sectional area. Mammals compensate with more upright limb pos...
