Goat Walking, 1872-1885. 'A Half-Stride in Thirteen Phases. The goat. Length of complete stride: 48 inches(1.20 metres). Time - interval: .043 second. Approximate time of complete stride: 1.03 seconds'. Muybridge explains that 'the ox, goat, and hog, as representatives of double-toed, or cloven-footed animals; and the elephant, Bactrian camel, lion, dog, racoon, and capybara as representatives of soft-footed quadrupeds, will be found, in their respective seriates, to follow while walking, the same sequence of foot-fallings as that disclosed by the horse (p.20). One of 85 collotypes from "Animal Locomotion: An Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movement", [1872-1885], by Eadweard Muybridge.
