Also for me this is not a walk stride but more probably is a trot stride,
and I think that Pachyrhinosaurus and also all others Ceratopsidae could
walk in that way and also run a little fast, in fact, if I remember
correctly some time ago Alexander McNeill pubblished an article in which he
hypothesized that most probably Triceratops have the same locomotory
capability of a Rhinos.
