  • This research was funded by the Ministry of Silly Walks.

  • It's not a computer model, it's footage from motion capture. There is a difference; the journalist got it wrong.

    Probably there was no need to put markers on the left legs as they're probably not moving very differently from the right legs?

  • Brought to you by the same guys who need a computer animation to teach people how to blink. Good job science. You spent all the time and effort to find out that putting one foot in front of another is walking.

  • this is not a new thing, trust me.

  • Uh,mammoths are designed to live in extreme cold,yet in the movie it pretty warm. they would overheat,especially when working hard.I meant did you work on the mammoths,not did you work on the weather.Sorry.

  • Not sure what you mean by the climate team - it was all shot on location.
