On the basis of rotational dynamics, explain why this distribution of mass is advantageous.

参考答案:

The legs have a lower moment of inertia when the leg mass is concentrated next to the body.  That means the legs will require less torque to have a given angular acceleration, or, alternatively, a higher angular acceleration can be developed.  Thus the animal can run fast.
