What if you gave a chicken a dinosaur tail?
Walking like dinosaurs: chickens with artificial tails provide clues about non-avian theropod locomotion
Scientists stuck fake tails onto chickens to see if they would walk like T. rex.
Ig Nobel 2015

The chickens started walking with a more upright leg posture, closer to what scientists think big meat-eating dinosaurs did.
Jurassic Park, but on a budget.
