TLDR
Trotting and galloping strides of various pecoran species are analysed from motion picture sequences and why a species uses one of these gaits when not closely pursued in preference to the other is discussed.Abstract:
Trotting and galloping strides of various pecoran species are analysed from motion picture sequences. Why a species uses one of these gaits when not closely pursued in preference to the other is discussed with reference to basic differences in the gaits, to the environment in which the animal lives and to the animal's size and possession of large horns or antlers.read more

Analysis of Tetrapod Gaits: General Considerations and Symmetrical Gaits
TL;DR: This chapter reports on a comprehensive and integrative study that establishes a system for analyzing gaits that facilitates description, identifies all possible gaits, permits the simultaneous study of hundreds of locomotor performances, and helps to interpret the selection of gaits by the various animals.

Quadrupedalism in primates
TL;DR: In the present study quadrupedalism in primates is analysed in terms of positional behavior (locomotor and postural activities in an environmental context) and a number of categories are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The description of mammals–2 Limbs and locomotion of terrestial mammals
TL;DR: Four separate categories of description relating to limbs and locomotion are recognized, and descriptive terminology is critically reviewed in the light of advancing research and a synthetic framework for ordering future studies is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Steady locomotion in dogs: temporal and associated spatial coordination patterns and the effect of speed.
TL;DR: Anteroposterior sequence analysis was used to analyse 486 sequences from five malinois (Belgian shepherd) dogs moving at a large range of speeds to compare symmetrical and asymmetrical gaits through kinematic and limb coordination parameters and the relationship between the temporal and spatial coordination between pairs of limb was found to depend on speed and trunk length.

Giraffe: Biology, Behaviour and Conservation
TL;DR: The giraffe's environment, social behaviour and populations, pregnancy, growth, reproduction and aging, and status and conservation of giraffe races are studied.

TL;DR: In undergoing this life, many people always try to do and get the best. as discussed by the authors But many people sometimes feel confused to get those things, and feeling the limited of experience and sources to be better is one of the lacks to own.
