Chapter 3 The Moon

As for the so-called jumper and ducker, in possession of only one foot, this animal is nothing other than a variety of the already known marmoset; only it possesses by far more elasticity than the foot of the marmoset, for which reason it's movement is also jumping. It is called a ducker because it is able to contract in such a way that in it's ducking state it looks like a medium-sized loaf of bread lying on the ground; But when he wants to jump, he suddenly expands to a length of 5 cubits. Through this sudden expansion, it then throws itself to a height of two to three cubits, and this always in an arc-like direction forward, so that such a jump not infrequently reaches a distance of six to seven cubits. This jumping continues one after the other, this animal is often very fast, and moves especially in the daytime so fast, that it catches up with every bird in the air. It's food is the same as that of the marmoset, and so is it's dwelling; and so such animals, along with many others, inhabit only the plains, and come into very rare contact with the people, because they live only on the mountains. – The Moon, Chapter 3, Paragraph 9
