Falling Cat in Slow Motion

We know cats almost always land on their feet. How they do it has fascinated cat owners and scientists since we first started watching cats. The BBC gives us a slow-motion view with some commentary on the kinetics involved in a fall by a caracal from the new TV show Life in the Air.

This is fascinating, but we still have questions. Did they throw a caracal to get this footage? Drop it from a helicopter? Was the cat upset about it afterward? Were there injuries to the camera crew? -via Digg
