Enclosed is an amination of a moose cantering; to view, save and

Has anyone done an animation of animals showing all the real-life
four legged walking patterns ("gaits"), which can all be observed
in domestic cats if you have cats at home.
(A) SLOW WALK. The legs act in diagonally opposite pairs:
1. LeftRear forward 2 RightFront 3 RightRear 4 RightFront,
in four time units the animal is one pace forward.
(B) TROT. If it was a pantomime horse the front and back back
pairs would be exactly _out_of_ step i.e. the legs on the left
side scissor inwards as the legs on the right side scissor
outwards, then oppositely. The diagonally opposite pairs that
are _out_ do the work, hitting the ground and swinging over the
foot then lifting off the ground in their furthest back position.
(C) CANTER. The left front and rear go forward in step as the
right front and rear go back in step, so there's a definite
side to side sway.
(D) GALLOP. Both rear legs scissor forward together as both front
legs scissor back together, the forward legs hit the ground and
swing over the foot raising off the ground at the rearmos position
and swinging forward for the next stride.
A-B-C-D are increasingly fast and demanding of energy.
There is also (E) FOUR LEGGED HOP [PRONKING]. Speaks for itself:
hop vertically in the air on all foutr legs at once.
