Description
Here we have the sort of standard rolling gait of a rushing caeli. The weight moves forward from the hind legs to the forepaws very similarly to a canine, but with the movement also flung forward by the center legs. The middle feet hit the ground first in this gait, as the forelegs are still coming out to their furthest forward point, however both sets of front legs move very quickly, so the very front paws hit the ground shortly after.
For a better reference of neck and ear motions, see previous version- the same gait from the front . There is also a pencil version of this animation with better details of musculature and toe movements, but that gif is NOT formally recognized by the caeli species owners.

This is an approved caeli gait by the species owner. This and the front-facing companion gif can be used as a reference for drawing or animating caeli in motion. Frames can be provided upon request if you would like a better look at the poses. Ask AhalTeke or myself about using this as an animation base for your character if you would like

THIS TOOK TEN THOUSAND TIMES LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE I'M SOOO SORRY
Seriously guys you would not believe how much trouble I've gone through with this gif.
Hopefully it was worth the wait to get a more refined neck motion? ^^'
