| Which animals are largest, jump the farthest, and swim the fastest? Find out about some unusual record-holders of the animal world.
In the book Biggest, Highest, Fastest, chapter one looks at animals that are 'big' or have 'big' features. It includes worms that can grow to 55 metres, giant squids that weigh almost a tonne and small foxes with very big ears.
Chapter two examines height by looking at giraffes, fleas that can jump amazing heights and birds that fly as high as jet aeroplanes. Chapter three looks at animals which are the fastest. It examines the speed of a hummingbird's wings, the pace of a sailfish and cheetah, and the strike of a snake. |
