00:00
leaping lemurs and jumping giraffes
00:03
awesome alliteration huh
00:05
it's the list you never know you needed
00:08
which animals have the best ups and
00:10
we're do humans stack among them stick
00:13
around to find out where your jump would
00:15
be astronomical and where would be
00:17
impossible starting with elephants they
00:22
can't jump at all along with sloths
00:23
hippos and rhinos their leg bones don't
00:26
have the spring action that ours do no
00:29
need to jump when you're massive size
00:31
protects you the jumping pit vipers like
00:35
any snake can strike at a distance 1/3
00:38
to 1/2 its body length so for this 2
00:41
foot long serpent that would be up to 1
00:43
foot but this snake strikes so fast and
00:46
powerful its whole body leaves the
00:48
ground yep we humans are pretty weak
00:52
jumpers you can usually leap a little
00:54
farther than your own height for the
00:56
average person
00:57
that's roughly 6 feet but our species
00:59
does excel at long distance running we
01:03
share 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees
01:06
they obviously got the jumping gene over
01:09
7 times their height in a single bound
01:11
though their leg muscles are less than
01:13
half the size of ours they generate
01:16
twice the power giraffes can jump just
01:20
not very high only 1/6 of their total
01:23
body length they don't do it often since
01:25
their six-foot neck gives them all the
01:27
ups they need that same extremely long
01:31
neck is ironically too short to reach
01:33
the ground surprisingly horses don't
01:37
like to jump either and they don't get
01:39
very high when they do the world-record
01:41
broken in 1949 almost tripled the
01:44
average horses jump horses are the only
01:47
single code animal on the planet yep
01:50
they stand run and jump on one digit
01:55
Michael Jordan was known for getting air
01:57
his 4 foot vertical leap quadrupled the
02:00
regular Joe's and even doubled the
02:02
average for most NBA players his
02:04
mind-blowing 15-foot leaf that famous
02:07
foul line dunk more than doubled what
02:09
most of us can pull off
02:12
squirrels can jump six times their own
02:14
height they're really smart too they
02:17
pretend to bury food to trick thieving
02:19
squirrels watching them when they do
02:21
really bury their nuts they tend to
02:24
forget where they hit seventy five
02:25
percent of them oops
02:27
note to self learn map making a kangaroo
02:31
standing vertical jump is more than its
02:33
own height meaning it be like you
02:36
jumping right over your friends head fun
02:38
fact
02:39
on land kangaroos can only move their
02:41
hind legs together in water they can
02:43
kick them separately when deer could
02:47
easily hop right over the other but a
02:49
deer can't jump both high and far at the
02:52
same time by the way deers have antlers
02:55
but antelope have horns
02:57
because antlers are shed and replaced
02:59
each year horns aren't didn't know that
03:02
a six foot jump is six times the average
03:06
house cats own hike cats love to be high
03:10
up like on a bookshelf or fridge it's
03:12
instinct to want to watch over their
03:14
territory for dogs it varies drastically
03:18
depending on the breed so here are the
03:21
record holders a greyhound aptly named
03:24
feather jumped nearly six and a half
03:26
feet in the air in 2017 a whippet named
03:29
Sounders leaped over 36 feet in 2019
03:33
hey I fell over 24 feet last night I was
03:37
trying to get to my seat at the movie
03:38
theater a cassowary could jump right
03:42
over your refrigerator just don't test
03:44
that please this heaviest burden
03:46
Australia has a 5 inch toe claw that
03:49
could not end well for you Olympic
03:53
athletes seem to be superhuman Xavier
03:56
Sotomayor is record-breaking 8 foot high
03:59
jump is eight times the average and Mike
04:02
Powell's 29 foot long job five times
04:05
[Music]
04:06
penguins aren't amazing jumpers on land
04:09
but they can easily reach nine feet when
04:11
torpedoing up out of the water and onto
04:14
the ice they do it by wrapping their
04:16
bodies in a coat of tiny bubbles that
04:19
reduce drag an Impala can jump ten feet
04:23
up you'd have to be on the moon to get
04:26
air like that they're pretty smart too
04:28
they purposely visit water holes during
04:30
the hottest part of the day when animals
04:32
that feed on them are the most sluggish
04:36
the Atlantic salmon swim hundreds of
04:38
miles upstream to lay eggs in the same
04:41
exact place where it was born that often
04:44
includes jumping up to twelve feet in
04:46
the air to clear waterfalls lions can
04:50
leap five times their body length almost
04:53
enough to clear a school bus and just
04:55
like your kitty a lion can sleep up to
04:58
20 hours a day
05:00
Springbok are excellent hoppers they
05:03
even do this thing called prawn king
05:05
where they show off how high they can
05:07
jump the name means jumping antelope in
05:10
Afrikaans a European hair can jump 15
05:14
feet in the air
05:15
rabbits can only reach about a third of
05:18
that the power comes in a hair's longer
05:20
legs a hairs fur also changes color
05:23
throughout the year a rabbit's dozen
05:27
Cougars dominate both jumping vertically
05:30
and leaping horizontally one could jump
05:32
right over a giraffe and leap over a
05:34
school bus long ways the ancient Incan
05:37
city Cusco and Peru was designed in the
05:40
shape of a cougar because the animal
05:42
symbolized the power of the earth
05:45
dolphins leap 25 feet into the air while
05:48
swimming because it saves time and
05:50
energy there's less resistance in the
05:52
air than in the water they do it also to
05:55
get a good view of their surroundings a
05:59
klipspringer is an adorable little
06:01
antelope that can jump 25 feet straight
06:03
up into the air that's ten times their
06:06
body height
06:06
it'd be like a human springing up to a
06:09
fifth storey window you could do that if
06:11
you were on the asteroid series
06:14
a lemur leaps 12 times its body length
06:18
and that's mostly in the trees on land
06:21
they do more of a funny hop skip these
06:25
animals can be from 3 inches to 3 feet
06:27
tall but there used to be prehistoric
06:29
lemurs the size of a gorilla a humpback
06:34
whale can't exactly jump its entire body
06:36
out of the water but 50 feet is close
06:39
this breaching isn't just whales coming
06:42
up for air they also do it to hunt and
06:44
communicate with others and now we enter
06:47
the territory of not impressive
06:49
distances but ratios a grasshopper can
06:54
jump 20 times its own size that would be
06:57
the equivalent of you jumping over a
06:58
basketball court a single grasshopper
07:01
can eat half its body weight in plants
07:04
in just one day at our share is a unique
07:08
little primate that's like a cross
07:10
between a monkey and a lemur they leap
07:13
between branches 16 feet apart which is
07:15
40 times their own length they also have
07:18
the largest eyes compared to body size
07:20
among all mammals a kangaroo rat can
07:25
only leap about 9 feet but that's 45
07:28
times their size these desert rodents
07:31
never drink water in a lifetime they get
07:33
all the hydration they need from the
07:35
seeds they eat the African frog could
07:39
line up 50 of its friends and leap right
07:41
over them frogs don't also need to drink
07:43
since they absorb water through their
07:45
skin and that bubble thing on their
07:47
throat is called a vocal sack it helps
07:50
make their calls louder Frog hoppers are
07:54
also known as spit bugs because of the
07:56
foamy saliva lichen casings their nymphs
07:59
stand you they can jump 70 times their
08:03
body height the g-force created during
08:05
that jump is 80 times greater than what
08:07
an astronaut launching into space on a
08:10
rocket fields that's cool but I just
08:13
can't get past the foamy saliva thank
08:14
God
08:15
a jumping spider can leap 100 times its
08:19
body length which would be like a human
08:21
clearing two jumbo jets jumpers make up
08:24
13% of all spider species terrifying I
08:27
know and they release a safety net
08:30
thread of web when they leave the flea
08:34
known for its crazy ups can jump only 7
08:37
inches but that's 150 times their height
08:40
like you or me jumping right over the
08:43
Eiffel Tower their 13-inch leap is even
08:45
more impressive it's 220 times their
08:48
length but the famous flea isn't today's
08:51
jumping champion that would be a tiny
08:55
crustacean called a coke pod they're
08:58
about as long as a dime is thick but
09:01
they can leap 500 times that they're
09:03
also the fastest jumpers it'd be the
09:06
equivalent of a human reaching 3,000
09:08
miles per hour that's four times the
09:10
speed of sound in a leap now if you
09:13
really want to go somewhere where your
09:15
jump will be out of this world
09:17
just head to comet 69p your vertical
09:20
leap would be infinite the gravity is so
09:23
weak you could jump right off it and
09:25
into space compare that to earth where
09:28
you'd need to go 25,000 miles per hour
09:30
to break free from gravity's pool or the
09:35
opposite the one place no creature human
09:37
or animal could jump a neutron star
09:40
jumping wouldn't exist because the third
09:43
dimension of height wouldn't be a thing
09:45
the gravity is so immense life would be
09:48
too deep whoo Shakespeare to D or not to
09:52
D that ain't a question
