Stotting

Stotting (also pronking or pronging) is a behavior of quadrupeds, particularly gazelles, in which they spring into the air, lifting all four feet off the ground simultaneously. Usually, the legs are held in a relatively stiff position and the back may be arched with the head pointing downward. Many explanations of stotting have been proposed; there is evidence that at least in some cases it is an honest signal to predators that the stotting animal is not worth pursuing.
==Etymology==
''Stot'' is a common Scots and Geordie verb meaning "bounce" or "walk with a bounce."〔(Definition of ''stot'' )〕 Uses in this sense include stotting a ball off a wall, and rain stotting off a pavement. Pronking comes from the Afrikaans verb ''pronk-'', which means "show off" or "strut", and is a cognate of the English verb "prance".〔(Definition of ''pronk'' )〕
