DID YOU KNOW?

The arctic hare (Lepus arcticus) is able to stand on its hind legs and hop around like a kangaroo, but if it senses danger, it will quickly bolt at speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour! It runs faster than the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), which can run up to 40 kilometres per hour – but only for a short distance. And both of these animals are faster than us: the average running speed for a human is only about 8-9 kilometres per hour.
