Check in the files section on the toolbar to your left. The
animation is in a folder called, appropriately, "Animations".

Well, I've always been a stickler for details, and spent a lot of
time studying anatomy in order to better draw these characters. By
far, the BEST book I have ever seen on anatomy is the "Atlas of Human
Anatomy for the Artist" by Stephen Rogers Peck. The book's ISBN #
is: 0-19-503095-8. It runs around 17 bucks. It covers everything
from skeletal structures to muscles to genders, races, expressions,
different ages, everything. A most invaluable book.
