a spring in the step

After seeing this, I feel as though I've never truly left the ground. 

Part Nijinsky, part decathlon, part ecstatic kid on a trampoline, these incredible little guys bounce along without a pogo stick in an ethereal, unreal scene-stealing romp. And I'm in awe of the accompanying arm motions--free, flying, flung--counterbalance the leaping legs. What a thing of beauty--strange and wonderful lemur beauty.

Galumphing Galloper, I love thee.

Thanks to "Weird Nature: Marvelous Motion" on the BBC. And thanks to Dani for bringing these little wonders to my attention.
