On The Gait Of Animals is a book written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, which explores the different ways in which animals move. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the general principles of animal movement, the second part discussing the specific movements of different animals, and the third part examining the relationship between movement and the physical structure of animals.Throughout the book, Aristotle draws on his observations of various animals, including horses, dogs, and birds, to describe their movements in detail. He also considers the role of nature and genetics in determining the gait of different animals, as well as the impact of environmental factors such as terrain and climate.On The Gait Of Animals is considered to be one of Aristotle's most important works, and is still widely studied by scholars of biology and animal behavior today. It provides a fascinating insight into the ancient Greek understanding of the natural world, and the ways in which humans have sought to understand and classify the behavior of other species.Now of animals which change their position some move with the whole body at once, for example jumping animals, others move one part first and then the other, for example walking (and running) animals. In both these changes the moving creature always changes its position by pressing against what lies below it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
