Frogs are superb jumpers.

A small North American frog Acris gryllus can jump up by 6 feet

( 36 times its own body length of 2 inches).

If a human wishes to match this performance,

he will have to jump 215 feet high.

This is seven times the real height a world record holder can jump!

Another European frog Rana dalmatina can jump up by

6 feet (24 times its own body length of 3 inches)

The long hind legs of the frog are folded into three sections.

The sudden extension of the powerful muscles provide the necessary impetus for the jump.

The short front legs act as shock absorbers on landing.
