This is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. I can’t imagine how scary a lion flying from the sky would be

Allegedly hit by the street view car.

They can,
but only when they see the cucumber you placed behind them.

If i saw any animal leaping forward 12 meters, I'd shit my pants.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

To be fair, they'd have to be running at full speed.

There's a Olympic record of a 8.95m jump by Mike Powell in '91, so for a much more larger and stronger *4-legged animal it's not too surprising.

You should emphasize the 4-legged more than animal. Also they're 270-570lb and ~58.8% of their body weight is skeletal muscle, highest percentage of any mammal.

People like to ignore that humans are animals too often. And honestly not great at anything if we don't have tools. Even persistence hunting requires at least water and a spear.

Just a rock or a knife, if you wear the animal down enough. You're probably not biting through the hide though.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think I'm running any animal down.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 3 points 3 weeks ago

Not with that mindset

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I thought about knife too but getting that close is still a good way to get injured or killed. I forgot about rock lol.

And honestly not great at anything if we don't have tools.

Just goes to show what an amazing evolutionary advantage we get from the combo of intelligence and dexterity. The ability to make and use tools to fit any situation makes us capable of anything other animals can do and more.
