On the Gait of Animals

“On the Gait of Animals” is a work by Aristotle that analyzes the movements and locomotion of various animals. In this text, Aristotle portrays the different ways animals move and the anatomical structures that enable these movements. He discusses the mechanics of walking, running, and flying, and compares the gait of animals with different numbers of legs, as well as the implications of bipedal versus quadrupedal locomotion.
