If you have a dog, you know you gotta walk it. But do you know how it walks? Well, if you have no idea which foot Fido puts forward when, you’re in good company. Because according to a study published in the journal Current Biology, even places like natural history museums get it wrong half the time. Studies published back in the late 1800s showed that all four-legged animals walk the same way. They start by moving forward their left hind leg, followed by the left front leg. Then they repeat the sequence on the right-hand side. Different animals differ in the timing of their steps. The reason they walk that way is for stability. Lifting one leg at a time leaves three feet on the ground, forming a nice stable tripod to stand on. But not everyone seems to know that, even folks who should.

Printed "sublet", the speaker says "published"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "a study published in the". The printed word is "sublet". Both words start with different letters, so listen to the whole word before you click.

Printed "shriveled", the speaker says "four legged"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "all four legged animals". It is much longer than the spoken words, so trust your ears and click it.

Printed "onboard", the speaker says "followed"

Explanation: The speaker says "left hind leg, followed by", not "onboard". Onboard does not fit the sentence, so click it.

Printed "bomb", the speaker says "everyone"

Explanation: Listen for "But not everyone seems to". The printed word is "bomb". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so follow the audio and click "bomb".

"Current" matches the audio
