Synopsis
Superheroes, record holders, and fascinating facts from the animal kingdom! Welcome to our animal Olympics!
The animal world has almost infinite variety. Many of its creatures have strengths similar to superheroes. The world’s fastest animals can move at the speed of a race car; one small creature has the strength of a trained weightlifter; the world’s strongest animal can lift many times its own weight; and the longest-lived animal survives for several hundred years.
Fastest, slowest, strongest, largest, smallest, longest living, furthest jumping, most dangerous, most beautiful, ugliest, deepest diving—these and many other record holders from the animal kingdom fill this book with unexpected, fascinating facts.

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.
