Fig. 7. Comparisons of rotation angles during two left turns. The angles of
rotation about the pitch (nose up and down), roll (twisting about the
cranialcaudal axis) and yaw (nose left and right) directions are shown
for two typical left turns. (A) A banked turn performed by the frog with its
hind feet held at the same vertical height above its body. (B) A `crabbed'
turn to the left performed by a frog with its right hind foot held higher than
its left hind foot above the body. The patterns shown by the pitch angle and
yaw angle are comparable between the two turns. However, the roll angle for
the banked turn is between -40° and -60° compared with a roll angle of
less than 20° for the `crabbed' turn.
