Every Animal will have the Centre of its Legs, on which it rests, so much nearer the perpendicular of its Centre of Gravity, as its Motion is more slow; and on the contrary, the Centre of its Legs will be further removed from the perpendicular of its Centre of Gravity, as it is more quick and nimble in its Motion.
