To get a really good idea, examine skeletal and muscular structures of
animals.  All animal limbs use ball & socket joints.  This can be

Flex system.  Study the movements of a dog or cat a little more and you
should get it.  It'll probably take a while to get right, but that's
what makes Lego fun!

to see how two legged walkers negotiate corners, but I can't seem to
reproduce it with lego.
