• Our flying squirrel is in no proper sense a flyer. On the ground, he is more helpless than a chipmunk, because less agile. He can only sail or slide down a steep incline from the top of one tree to the foot of another. ― John Burroughs (1837–1921) American naturalist
Note: There are many types of agility. Physically, animals – including the human animal – have had to be agile enough to survive under dangerous situations. Jesus was very agile in countering the pharisee’s attempts to trick him up.
