Speed and Endurance
The gold medal for long-distance running would have
to go to the pronghorn antelope. It can maintain a
steady speed of 35 mph (56 km/hr) for a distance of 3
miles (5 km). No other animal can run so far so fast.
Who would win the medals if Mother
Nature held Olympic Games for the
other animals on this planet?

Winner by a Nose
Elephants are the only animals
that can’t jump. They
can smell water three
miles away, though!
The strongest animal,
relative to body size, is the
Rhinoceros beetle. It can
support 850 times its own
body weight on its back.
High
Jump
The puma,
a member of the
cat family, holds
the record for the
highest-jumping
mammal. It can
leap up to 18
feet (6 meters)
in the air from a
standing start.
Long Jump
The common flea can cover 220
times the length of its body in one
leap! If humans could do that, we
would be able to complete the 800
meter race in just two leaps!
Traveling as fast as it
can, without taking a
rest, it would take a
garden snail more than
eight days to finish a
10,000 meter race!
Race through the
newspaper and
find and cut out
letters that spell
the names of each
of the following
Olympic events:
• Equestrain
• Javelin
• Steeplechase
• Swim
