This streaming video from the BBC show, Weird Nature: Marvelous Motion compares the movement of Sifaka lemurs to ballet, but it's also reminiscent of a martial arts movie. Remarkably, these animals can jump as far as 30 feet from tree to tree! And they make it look so effortless [1:49]

The Beeb narrator puts that at 30 meters, though no leaps near that range seem to be shown in the video.

My daughter thought it was great - she's three and a half and has a toy lemur (called Lenny), so it was wonderful for her. Of course it now means she is leaping around the dining room after a big meal, so thats going to turn out well....
