The Kangaroo Rat
The Kangaroo Rat can jump 45 times its own body length. They are longest jumper among all mammals compared to body size.
Froghopper
Froghoppers can jump 70 times their own body height. They’re the 2nd highest jumper among animals compared to body size. However, froghoppers generate the most force per body weight of any animal when jumping - more than 400 times their body weight. They initially accelerate at 4,000 metres per second per second and in a millisecond reach a take-off velocity of four metres per second.
Jumping Spider
The Jumping Spider can jump 100 times its own body length. Imagine a person who can jump as long as 2 jumbo jets.
Tree Frog
Tree Frogs can jump 150 times their own body length. They are 2nd longest jumping among animals compared to body size.
Flea
It is usually claimed that the best jumper in the world is the Flea. They are longest and highest jumper among animals compared to body size. Fleas can jump 220 times their own body length and 150 times their own body height. If we were to scale up a flea to our size it would be like us jumping nearly 400m in distance whilst jumping over a 250m high building! Now that’s a big jump!
