This is a clip from an experiment attempting to document the mechanism that turtles use to breathe during locomotion. The top image is regular video, the middle image is x-ray and the bottom third of the image is an airflow trace from the mask. A flat line indicates no breathing, above zero is exhalation and below in inhalation. The turtle was not harmed by this procedure.
I'm frequently looking for footage like this of animals moving, to reference. Maybe you could do this with more animals and set up an archive for animators and artists.
Dunno. Eitherway interesting footage. Thanks.

Ah, people love the "trappings" of turtles on treadmills.
