Theories on a Train

Guinea pig walks...

I studied some videos of guinea pig walks, and this is what I discovered:

A step takes 8/9 frames, which is roughly 3 seconds per step. Contrary to most other animals, there seems to be a "feline rhythm" (left, left, right, right, as opposed to left, right, left, right.) Hind quarters follow a different rhythm to the front (hind step takes 8 frames, front takes 9.)

Head movement is minimal, but like standard quad walks favours the lifting front side. The up position is very subtle.

The spine of the guinea pig is difficult to see, due to the amount of hair on the body. From what can be seen and gathered, the spine would compress when front and back legs are both in up position and would stretch when front goes down (as the hind quarters are weightier and would drag the body back.)

I will test this walk based on these observations and theories. Get me! I sound like I know what I'm talking about!
