1 1 | Again, why do quadrupeds move their legs criss-cross?~ 2 2 | moved; it is not thought to move itself, but to be moved 3 3 | change their position some move with the whole body at once, 4 3 | jumping animals, others move one part first and then 5 3 | nothing without parts can move itself in this way, for 6 4 | the right, for they do not move in the direction of the 7 6 | in order to be able to move as a whole while one part 8 7 | the severed parts, and can move in the same way as before 9 7 | most naturally are made to move at two or four points, and 10 7 | are no exception. They too move by dint of four points, 11 7 | this is evidence that they move themselves like the quadrupeds, 12 7 | snakes swim precisely as they move on the ground). Others have 13 7 | for example all the eels, move with fewer flexions in a 14 8 | Sanguineous creature can move itself at more than four 15 8 | those which only jump and so move from place to place do not 16 8 | fall in endeavouring so to move.~Polypods however, like 17 9 | is, indeed, possible to move oneself even if the leg 18 9 | knee, but would have to move like men in the wrestling 19 9 | undulating animals could not move themselves; when the flexure 20 10| when they walk, be said to move at four points? Now we did 21 10| not say that all Sanguinea move at four points, but merely 22 12| body on it, and when they move forward the leg which has 23 12| backwards, and the shin would move the foot forwards away from 24 12| lead off first when they move, and are also in the forepart 25 14| given. But the hind limbs move criss-cross with the fore 26 14| after the off fore they move the near hind, then the 27 14| as it is, all horses that move in this way soon begin to 28 14| limbs and the hind limbs move in this separate way. Again, ( 29 14| then it is necessary to move in one or other of these 30 14| satisfactory, they must move criss-cross; for moving 31 14| consecutive pairs of legs the hind move criss-cross with the forelegs; 32 14| moving slowly. Even crabs move in this way, and they are 33 14| polypods. They, too, always move criss-cross in whichever 34 14| limbs, for its eyes can move themselves obliquely, and 35 14| exception but in this sense move forwards.~ 36 15| quadruped, since when they move to progress the natural 37 17| more than one limb, and move obliquely; obliquely, because 38 19| misshapen.
