. Further, it resembles a
bird in being a biped, and a quadruped in having a cloven hoof; for it
has hoofs and not toes. The explanation of these peculiarities is to
be found in its bulk, which is that of a quadruped rather than that of
a bird. For, speaking generally, a bird must necessarily be of very
small size. For a body of heavy bulk can with difficulty be raised
into the air.
Thus much then as regards the parts of animals. We have discussed
them all, and set forth the cause why each exists; and in so doing
we have severally considered each group of animals. We must now pass
on, and in due sequence must next deal with the question of their
generation.
