How could dragons run?

+0
−0

You already know the drill:

  • Dragons stand 195 centimeters at the withers, normally 2,95 meters at the top of the head when standing still
  • They can't fly
  • They weigh: 1179 kilograms
  • You're not allowed to use magic
  • Square-cube law
  • T-rexes were fast walkers, but we want to do better
  • Limpet teeth

So let us now genetically enhance dragons to be able to run, jump, turn, etc for extended periods of time with minimal damage to their bones, muscle tissue, and ligaments.
