    Is it even considered running if that doesn't happen?

                      That's much more significant of a difference for bipedal animals, so mostly just humans. 1 of 2 legs vs. 1 of 4 legs touching the ground. Elephants will never get airborne, but you certainly wouldn't describe a stampeding elephant as "walking"

                            I am very certain that most animals can get airborne, even for prolonged periods of time,when reaching high enough speed. The trick lies in accelerating them to sufficient speed. Safe landing and deceleration can also pose a problem.

                                A herd of elephants race walked past town today. 1 dead, 3 injured.

                                It has a weird amount of drama to it

Recent studies reveal that these massive animals can trot and even become airborne, challenging our perceptions of their movement. Learn how researchers captured this phenomenon and what it means for our understanding of giant land animals.

                                          I mean, if you're just yeeting animals off a cliff, then they can all "fly".
