Culinary Skills of the Daring Jumping Spider

.

This spider loves fast food . . .

It can jump over 50 times its body length. It's the spider's blood pressure that rises and propels the legs like hydraulics - Cool engineering isn't it?!
.
So the next time the Dr. reminds you to cut back on fastfood to lower your blood pressure - let 'em know that you would but then you couldn't jump so far - Tho' there's no guarantee of being beautiful as you can see from this guy above . . . :0)
