🪰🐭🏃‍♂️Ob Fliegenbeinchen, Mäusepfoten oder menschliche Schritte - auf den ersten Blick unterscheiden sich die Fortbewegungsarten stark. Doch eine neue Studie zeigt, dass je weiter ein Gelenk vom Körper entfernt ist, desto schneller bewegt es sich. Mehr dazu ➡️https://uni.koeln/TBN5P Bild: KI generiert
