Find out as our top 10 countdown of the most extreme jumpers on the planet - Part2

Found out next on The Most Extreme.We're halfway through the countdown, and our search for the fifth most extreme jumping animal on the planet has taken us to the heart of Mongolia and the Gobi Desert.
 The kangaroos of Australia are a half a world away. Or are they? This is a kangaroo.

 Well, it's actually a kangaroo rat. A rodent that uses those long back legs just like a kangaroo.

 But the kangaroo rat takes hopping to new extremes, because a single bound can carry it over four meters.

 That's an incredible 45 times its body length.

 Imagine if a tall football player could jump that far. It's hard to defend against a player that could leap from end zone to end zone. Such extreme jumping hasn't gone unnoticed.

 But coming in at number four in the countdown is an animal that would be a star on any stage in the world.

 Ballet dancers are the most graceful professional jumpers in the world. They train for years to stand on the very tips of their toes. But our next animal in the countdown has been jumping on tiptoe for millions of years.

 This is a Klipspringer, the ballerina of the rocks. This dainty little antelope lives high on rocky outcrops that jut up from the plains of Africa. Early Dutch settlers named them Klipspringer. It literally means rock jumper, and it's easy to see how they got their name.

 Their extreme jumping ability is also useful to keep out of the clutches of Honolulu zookeeper, Greg Hamilton.

 Like any ballerina, the Klipspringer dances lightly on the tips of its amazing toes. - In the middle of this hoof, this split hoof, is a fleshy area that allows them to grip fairly readily to rock surfaces, and allow them to maintain their positions on the rocks. Their ability to escape, basically, is to get into areas that are inaccessible to other animals.

 These guys can land on a shelf that is about the size of a quarter and stay there.But what makes these rock hoppers different from other mountain goats are their extreme leaps. The Klipspringer may be tiny, but it can leap 15 times its own height. That's more than seven meters.

 The best Olympic high jumpers can't clear even twice their height. But if they could jump like a Klipspringer, they could leap from the shoulder of the Statue of Liberty and soar more than twenty meters right over the torch.

 It's no wonder that looking after such extreme leapers can be a bit of a challenge.

Even though Klipspringers have four built in pogo sticks, they're still only number four in our most extreme countdown.

 It seems incredible that anything could leap ahead of Klipspringers, Desert Rats or Kangaroos, but coming in at number three in our countdown is an animal that can jump so far, it's frightening. That's coming up on The Most Extreme.

If you're frightened of spiders, just wait til you see what these guys can do. Leaping in at number three in the countdown are the jumping spiders. These guys are the lions of the spider world. They have exceptional eyesight, which means they can spot their lunch from a long way off. Then, like a big cat, they'll slowly sneak up on their prey and pounce.

 And what a pounce it can be. The jumping spider can really jump. Those eight legs can push it almost two meters.

 That's 100 times its body length. A human athlete who could jump 100 times his body length might as well be flying.

 It would be like leaping over clear over two jumbo jets, nearly 150 meters. You'd think that to jump such enormous distances, the spider's legs would be amazing. They'd have to have bulging thighs packed with muscles. That's what human jumpers need. That's because human jumpers need well-developed thighs and firm butts to get their bodies up into the air and to absorb the shock of the landing.

But safety lines are not enough for our next contender in the countdown. There's one animal that jumps so high, it needs a parachute.

 At number two in our countdown is an animal that lives in some truly disgusting places. Frogs are legendary jumpers. Anyone who's taken a good look at a frog knows that it's leaping ability lies in its long, long legs. When scientists compare the power available in a frog's leg muscles to the distance they jumped, they discovered a frog can leap up to seven times further than was thought physically possible.

 So the scientists took a closer look at the frog's legs. They discovered a trigger mechanism that allows the muscles to stretch the tendons, store the energy, and release it in that explosive leap.

 High in the forests of southeast Asia lives a tree frog with a difference. It's a frog with extra webbing between its toes, so when it leaps out of a tree, it opens four little parachutes. These flying frogs can glide more than fifteen meters between trees. Imagine being able to jump 150 times your body length. You'd be able to leap clear over the Titanic, a distance of nearly 300 meters. Then you really would be king of the world.

But the incredible frog is still only number two in our most extreme countdown. We've seen nine contenders. They're the best of the best. Only one animal has more extraordinary powers.

 It's number one, and it's coming up next on The Most Extreme. You don't have to travel far to find the most extreme jumper on the planet.

 In fact, it's often too close for comfort. It can spend months waiting patiently for entomologists like Ruud Kleinpaste to return home from holiday.

 Vibrations on the floorboard signal the time to leap into action. A leap of 30 centimeters may be one small jump for a bug, but it's one giant leap for mankind. We're talking a leap that's 220 times your body length. With the super powers of a flea, we'd be able to clear the Brooklyn Bridge.

 That's nearly 400 meters. But a flea can also jump more than 150 times its own height. That's like jumping over not one, but two Statues of Liberty, more than 200 meters.
