Woah! Their running reminds me of Landstriders from The Dark Crystal
That’s a surprisingly cute photo of a common vampire.

I clicked thinking the treadmill video would be adorable and left thinking it’d make good motion capture for a horror game.
I have 100% seen dragons run like this in video games.
Very creepy. I like it.
For how long, though?
So there is a Facebook post claiming they can do it for up to 90 minutes but there is no source provided, and I HIGHLY doubt that it’s true.
The original paper that established this speed did not mention endurance. Here it is: https://www.noctilio.com/pdfs/Riskin_and_Hermanson_2005.pdf
so it’s possible they could even run up to 91 minutes then
92, even
It’s weird watching them bounce around chasing cattles’ feet.
So? I can run way faster than that
Oh but can you also fly?
