    amazing... how they stretch their legs in SLO-MO! IT's a good movement concept for animation with no doubt! :)

    The top comments are retarded (knowing the first was a joke). By knowing things like this, it can be applied to other great things. Personally I can imagine this being applied into robotic things, which in turn can surely be used for a lot of good things.
