There were some in the woods I did a bit of maple sugaring in as a kid. They hopped along the top of the snow. Walking around in the snow, my footprints were deep as the mines of Moria to them. Coming back the next day, my footsteps were black with all the snow fleas that fell in and hadn’t managed to jump out.

Marlin Perkins would have had them jumping a lot higher.
700 m per second is 1,565.86 mph! … the speed of sound is 343 metres per second (about 767 mph) … mind blowing

Siri, show me the polar opposite of the “mad scientist” trope.
That was really fascinating! Hope his research continues to grow and catch those rare moments.
