Fig. 1. Mid-stance phase of the right hindlimb, shown in right lateral view for representative slower and faster locomotion of an adult (h=1.93 m) African elephant (A, 1.7 m s-1; B, 4.1 m s-1) and a subadult (h=1.41 m) Asian (C, 1.2 m s-1; D, 5.4 m s-1) elephant. Limb phases were: (A) Plf=0.15, Prh=0.51, Prf=0.66; (B) Pf=0.23, Prh=0.52, Prf=0.73; (C) Plf=0.18, Prh=0.48, Prf=0.65; (D) Plf=0.22, Prh=0.52, Prf=0.71 (compare with Fig. 3). Markers are explained in the text.
