Fig. 6. A comparison of the speed–radius relationship seen in five mice with the curve predicted by Greene and McMahon (1979) and human data from Greene (1985). The dimensionless speed (v_r) is the speed of the mouse during a turn (v) divided by that mouse's maximum speed on a straight path (v_o). The reciprocal Froude number, rg/v_o², is the radius (r) of the mouse's path multiplied by the gravitational constant (g) and divided by the mouse's maximum speed squared.
