Pulex irritans – THE HUMAN FLEA, has
a long jump of 330 m.m. and a high jump of 200 m.m.
This is 130 times its own height.
This is equivalent to a human being jumping to a
height of 850 feet or to reach the roof of a seventy stories building.
The flea achieves this by flexing an elastic pad
beside its hind legs and then suddenly releasing it.
It propels itself in air as if it were an arrow from a built in bow.
Each jump subjects the flea to a g force 200 times stronger than the usual.
Such a strain will kill the human beings!
