it seems to me that the legs are jointed normally, they just end where a dog or a horse would have its ankles. Plus, having the legs join the "body" much lower than they would on an invertebrate just makes it look that much more unusual.

The thing that gets me wondering is, if it has such a natural gait when correcting for loss of balance, couldn't they incorporate that kind of fluidity into its normal movements by giving it a less defined walking pattern and make it look less artificial?

Other than that, all I can say is, I want.
