Kind of? I mean sighthound people know it's a big deal that they have what's called a "double-suspension" run, in that they get all four feet off the ground at two separate points in the stride. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_... They don't say "airborne" though, but eh, maybe in headlines? 🤷

(I guess "turns out hippos can gallop as well as trot" is not as attention-getting.)
