Was Tyrannosaurus rex a fast runner? Were dinosaurs warm-blooded? How can answering questions such as these help captive elephants to live a healthier and longer life? John Hutchinson, an expert in the evolution of large animal locomotion at the Royal Veterinary College talks to the Wellcome Trust's Daniel Glaser about this and more.

During the talk, Dr Hutchinson refers to an image of an elephant's forefoot. The image is reproduced below:
