Love learning about the creatures of the world? Here's a new compilation of facts about animals that will surprise you! Leaping lemurs and jumping giraffes! It’s the list you never knew you needed: which animals have the best ups, and where do humans stack among them? Which creatures can jump? What animal jumps the highest? Stick around to find out where your jump would be astronomical and where it would be impossible!

Did you know that although we share 99% of our DNA with Chimpanzees – they obviously got the jumping gene? Over 7 times their height in a single bound! Though their leg muscles are less than half the size of ours, they generate twice the power! But еhis does not apply to Olympic Athletes who seem to be superhuman. Javier Sotomayor’s record-breaking 8-ft high jump is 8 times the average. And Mike Powell’s 29-ft long jump – 5 times!
