I read somewhere that, as a general rule, you can tell a biped from a
quadruped by the shape of the femur. If it's straight, it was probably a
quadruped. If it's curved, a biped. Is this correct? If so it would
suggest that Leptoceratops was a quadruped (as I reconstruct it). What
are the fermora of psittacosaurids like?
