+# MODEL CARD:
+
+## Model Details
+
+• PRIMA model(s) developed by the [M.W.Mathis Lab](http://www.mackenziemathislab.org/) in 2026, trained to predict quadruped shape and pose from images.
+Please see **paper link**  for details.
+
+• There are two main models:
+  - `s1ckpt.ckpt` is the stage-1 model trained with Animal3D, CtrlAni3D, and Quadruped2D datasets.
+  - `s3ckpt.ckpt` is the stage-3 model trained with Animal3D, CtrlAni3D, and Quadruped3D datasets.
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from dlclibrary import download_huggingface_model
+# Creates a folder and downloads the model to it
+model_dir = Path("./prima_animal_model_pytorch")
+model_dir.mkdir()
+download_huggingface_model("prima_animal_model_pytorch", model_dir)
+```
+## Intended Use
+• Intended to be used for shape and pose estimation of quadruped images taken from a single view. 
+
+• Intended for academic and research professionals working in fields related to animal behavior, such as neuroscience
+and ecology.
+
+• Not suitable as a zero-shot model for applications that require high shape and pose precision, but can be further optimized with 2D keypoint
+annotations or from SuperAnimal to improve accuracy. Also, it is not suitable for videos that look dramatically different from those
+we show in the paper.
+
+## Metrics
+• PA-MPJPE (Procrustes-aligned mean per-joint position error), computed over 3D joints. 
+
+• PA-MPVPE (Procrustes-aligned mean per-vertex position error), computed over the SMAL mesh vertices.
+
+• PCK (Percentage of Correct Keypoints) measures the proportion of predicted keypoints within a specified threshold of the ground-truth keypoints.
+
+• AUC (Area Under the Curve), computed by integrating the PCK values as the threshold varies from 0 to 1.
+
+
+## Evaluation Data
+• In the paper we benchmark on Animal3d, CtrlAni3D, Quadruped2D, and AnimalKingdom.
+
+## Training Data:
+It consists of being trained together on the following datasets:
+- **Animal3D** see full details at (1).
+- **CtrlAni3D** See full details at (2).
+- **Quadruped2D** See full details at (3).
+- **Quadruped3D** See full details at **paper link**.
