Researchers who were studying frogs were flummoxed over the Guinness Book of World Records relative to the longest distance ever jumped, in a single bound , by a bullfrog. Their lab results had shown that the best a bullfrog could do was a jump of about 1.3 meters; however, the GBWR showed that a bullfrog named Rosie The Ribeter had jumped just over an impressive 2.1 meters (21' 5 3/4") at the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee in 1986.
In 2009, the eggheads decided to take a look into whether or not it was fact or fiction that such a long jump could be achieved by a bullfrog in a single bound. If you would like to read about what they found, hop on over to the article at this link:

A hat tip and my thanks to Deb H for this one.
All the best,
