High Jump
The puma, a member
of the cat family,
holds the record for
the highest-jumping
mammal. It can leap
up to 18 feet (6
meters) in the air
from a standing start.
Traveling as fast as it can, without taking a
rest, it would take a garden snail more than
eight days to finish a 10,000 meter race!
The strongest animal,
relative to body size, is
the Rhinoceros beetle.
It can support 850
times its own body
weight on its back.
The common flea can cover 220
times the length of its body in one
leap! If humans could do that, we
would be able to complete the 800
meter race in just two leaps!
