I is a cursorial quadruped vs. biped thing. I wanted to contrast it, though, because smaller mammals may have such different strategies and dynamics that I didn’t want to generalize too much.

Interesting point about the Opera.

Thing the 1st: that is also why the acting in opera is so perfunctory (compared to non-musical acting).

Thing the 2nd: the antelope/horse breathing also pertains to dogs, which is why it’s not good to take a dog along on an extended run (and absolutely not on a leash).

BUt I thought your evolutionary point was going to be that the dancing stuff gets done through the motor strip, and so does a lot of the singing stuff, and that is why it is really difficult to do both at the same time too. As it is to knap and talk about it. Though you can learn to do these two-motor-strip-tasks and then the panting thing comes in. Go Gene Kelly.

This is one of those reality-tv talent shows. Sheesh. Head-slap. I’m so out of touch with pop culture (except sci-fi, of course)…I wasn’t sure what you’d been talking about so didn’t fully read the posts.
