High-speed elephants

[Captain Seafort]

This is an interesting little article

The short version is that they're running with their front feet but walking with their back feet. Wierd. Pretty cool that we've been able to analyse it though.

What's even more interesting is that other studies have suggested the reverse - front walking but back running. Maybe the switch over at a certain speed, or different individuals have a preference.

I wonder wether there would be a difference with African elephants.
