Oft hand one would Imagine that the thin, elongated giraffe gi-raffe would be lighter on her feet than the lumbering 10,500-pound elephant. Such is not the case, however. A G. E. vibration meter made the rounds of the circus at Schenectady, N. Y., and came back with some interesting observations. Toby, the elephant, with the exception of the python, was the lightest stepper of all, registering 3 mils of vibration per second. The giraffe, left, is shown registering 6 mils of vibration per second. |
