A This makes it a gold medalist compared with

B It moves at 109 kilometres per hour.
C Scientists have measured the big cat running
up to 112 kilometers an hour over two
hundred metres.
D But these records are not as far as the impala,
an African antelope, with a jump of 9.1 metres.
E No human has ever won a gold medal in this.
F But imagine if they were competing against
athletes from the animal world.
G In reality, the highest any athlete has ever
jumped is under 2.5 metres.
Animal Olympians
We all admire our human Olympians who win gold
medals. (0) F How would they compare?
Two hundred metre sprint
The cheetah is the fastest animal on land. (1)
Cheetahs use this speed to go faster than their prey,
which includes gazelles and wildebeests.
Weightlifting
The African elephant’s trunk is packed with hundreds of
muscles and can lift 270 kilograms. (2) But when
you look at the amount of weight they can lift in
proportion to their body size, elephants only come
second to the rhinoceros beetle (named because of a
horn on its head). The 20-gram beetle can lift 850 times
its own weight. Elephants, by contrast, can only lift
about a quarter of their weight.
High jump
The six millimeter long froghopper bug can jump
70 centimetres into the air. In human terms, this would
be the equivalent of jumping over a 210 metre tall
skyscraper. (3)
Long jump
Humans have been jumping more and more efficiently
over the last hundred years. The world record in 1901
was 7.5 metres compared with over 8.5 metres
nowadays. (4)
Swimming
Finally, the gold medal for swimming goes to the
sailfish. (5) That’s easily the fastest – even a lot
quicker than its most dangerous predator, the shark.
