Slow-motion photography is put to educational - and surprisingly beautiful - use in this short film explaining the variety of ways animals leap, slither and glide. From mountain goats with their pointed hooves to the toad's lightning-fast tongue and even the humble snail, slow-motion revealed these wonders to 1920s cinema audiences. Boxing with a kangaroo, though it does perfectly demonstrate the animal's ability to balance on its legs and tail, is less appealing to modern sensibilities.
