3o6 THE ARTISTIC ANATOMY OF ANIMALS 



(Fig. 141). Whilst the latter are further flexed, in order to pass 

 the obstacle in their turn, the fore-limbs which are extended 

 come into contact with the ground (Fig. 142). Finally, in 

 the last phase of the leap, the animal, raising himself in 

 front, after the impact of his hind-feet has taken place 

 (Fig. 143), prepares to continue the pace at which he 

 progressed before meeting the obstacle which he had to 

 clear.
