How do horses walk? Many experts don't know, study says
- tokenadult 18y agoAccurately depicting the walking stance of quadrupeds has been a problem for humankind for as long as there has been visual art. A great examination of this issue by a paleobiologist who is also an accomplished artist can be found in The Nature of Paleolithic Art, http://www.amazon.com/Nature-Paleolithic-Art-Dale-Guthrie/dp/0226311260/ http://www.amazon.com/Nature-Paleolithic-Art-Dale-Guthrie/dp... which was the most interesting book I read in 2008.

- johnrob 18y agoI just lined up my dog and told her to come, and she went hind-left, front-left, hind-right, front-right. I never would have noticed!
- allenbrunson 18y agoi forget why i noticed, but i started paying attention to how my dog moves some time ago. while walking, the legs on one side move together. while running, the front and back legs move together.
