jumping koalas!

Can you tell me why that would save energy?

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great fact - I had to think for a moment -- but it certainly makes sense !

[Lou Ann]

So they don’t have to climb down their tree and up the next one. 😊

[Babs]

I would have thought jumping would use up more energy than climbing.

[Mags]

LOL! I certainly don't have the energy to jump. =)

[Steve Chappell]

I wouldn't expect jumping to save energy, but I guess it beats climbing up and down

[Esther Rosenberg]

interesting info once again!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

They must be pretty smart.

[wendy frost]

Interesting to know and I expect it is safer to stay in the tree too.

[Kitty Hawke]

haha......that does not sound energy efficient.....

[Diana]

Reminds me of Van Halen ... Jump

[Joanne Diochon]

That was my question too. Does it really save energy? I guess if you are going from one tree to another it might be more efficient than going all the way down one and up the other.

[Milanie]

Never thought about that - interesting

[Shutterbug]

I think it saves them going down and up, but it may have something to do with elastic energy in their tendons.

[Rick]

Wow, wouldn't have thought they would be jumpers. :-)

[Nina Ganci]

brilliant timing

[Fr1da]

They can climb so well
