Creature animation

This was an exercise in follow-through Animation, in which we had to animate a simple creature, the only feature of which we were allowed to add was the tail. We had to focus on how the tail would move when the character itself was moving.
The first attempt. The timing works, and the creature does move very well, but it feels a little out of proportion when it bounces.  
 
Second attempt, much more consistent, but the tail could still be improved as it looks like it just disappears when the creature lands.  
 
The final animation. I added some extra frames where the creature lands and made the tail slam on to the floor instead of disappearing behind him.
