Movie 2
This video shows the Northern quoll climbing the inclined narrow pole. The inclined pole was a 12 mm diameter wooden dowel running the length of the box at a 38° angle, and represented a narrow surface, smaller than the length of the hindfoot. Central to the platform is the force transducer (Nano-17 titanium, ATI instruments) placed level with the trackway, with a 90 mm long doweling attached to it. The Northern Quoll strikes this doweling with the front right foot, but neither hindfeet wholly.
