The Jumper
National Geographic has announced that the University of Manchester has taught a spider named “Kim” to jump six times “her” (how do they know?) body length on demand.

Why? Do you ask?
Yeah, me too. It seems to be in preparation for tiny robot training. OK, fine. If they had to do this fine, but did they have to post that grisly video of almost two minutes of Kim showing off her acrobatics?

I got the article which is interesting/-/how will the information be used and how in the world did they have the patience for doing that.
However I did not get a video with the article. However I am not sure that I really want it based on your comment.
You find the most interesting articles.

The video is both amazing (Kim jumps on command) and upsetting (Kim’s a spider). Unless you are a spider fan, I’d advise against it.
