Elephants' legs 'work the same as a 4x4 vehicle'

"Researchers found that off-road vehicles such as Range or Land Rovers cars were the mechanical equivalent of the largest living land mammal because of the way they move.

Scientists from the Royal Veterinary College, in London, found that the animal's ''four-leg-drive'' system means power is applied independently to each limb."
