Figure 6--Bounding trail patterns. (A) Bounding pattern showing distinct group and intergroup patterns during the period when the animal's feet leave the ground. The pattern where the front prints are at an angle to the line of travel is known as a half bound. (B) Full bound pattern (front prints are perpendicular to the line of travel) in which the speed is decreasing. At higher speeds hind prints overstep the front prints. F = front print, H = hind. Direction of travel is from bottom to top of figure.
