Mechanical stresses in fast locomotion of buffalo (Syncews coffer) and elephant (Loxodonta africana)

Films of buffalo and elephant running, and detailed measurements on dissected legs, have been used to estimate the maximum stresses which occur in locomotion, in certain muscles, tendons and bones. These stresses are similar to stresses previously determined for some other, smaller mammals.
