Humans can do some great things. They can travel at immense speeds, lift heavy weights and fly great distances. For these things, of course, they need machines they have invented and built. Animals, too, can reach very high speeds, fly thousands of miles or lift many times their own weight; indeed, animals hold some pretty incredible records. What’s more, animals have no technical achievements to their name: they must make do with what nature has given them ― which makes their performance all the more extraordinary. This book will tell you about some amazing things animals can do.
