logic-is-overrated Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Being able to lick your elbow? Putting your legs behind your head? Hmm..what I could do with flexibility like that... This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack.

I think the actual fact is Elephants are only mammal that can't jump. EDIT: But then again, dolphins? :| Land mammal then! http://experts.about.com/q/Wild-Animals ... s-Jump.htm Thanks for your question. I have heard the riddle 'what are the only mammals which can't jump? The elephant' several times, but by looking at the vast variety of mammals, including species with stumpy or no external limbs, I suspect that this riddle is untrue. Several mammals cannot jump. I have looked at several books, as well as the following websites: http://www.automotiveforums.com/t133348.html The general concensus of opinion is that many mammals cannot jump. These include elephants, sloths, hippopotami and probably sea cows and various burrowing rodents. I think that only a few bats jump, for that matter. The basic information about sloths confirms their speed. They do not jump between trees, but climb down one tree and climb up the next. Despite being so vulnerable on the ground, they do not jump. I can only think that if they could jump, they would do so, rather than drag their bodies along. One site claims that a sloth falling from a tree amounts to jumping âââ‰â¬Å I'm not too sure âââ‰â¬Å I once fell through a ceiling and I never once thought that I'd jumped down to the floor below. I'm sorry that the information is limited, but, at present, it seems that sloths are just one of several types of mammal which are unable to jump. *EDIT*-Let us not forget that White Men are also mammals. So even if those links prove to be false there is at least 1 other mammal that can't jump. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
