Vertical displacements (from the lowest point shown) of the right (in lateral view) shoulder (red triangles) and hip (blue circles) joints for a representative Asian elephant (h=1.41 m) moving at 1.2 m s-1 (in A; ~3 strides) and 5.4 m s-1 (in B; <2.5 strides), plotted against time. Large symbols indicate motion during the stance phase; small symbols are motion during the swing phase of the respective limb.
