A flea can jump up to 8 inches high. That's 150 times its own height. If you could do this, you'd be able to leap over even tall skyscrapers! |

Fleas make their homes on animals. They can be found on humans, cats, dogs, opossums, rats and other rodents. They can sense an animal's body heat, movement and
breathe. This helps them to find places to live and breed. Typically, fleas can live for about 100 days. Under perfect conditions, a pair of fleas could have more
than 20 trillion babies in one year. They are known to have incredibly jumping power; they can jump up to 150 times the length of their body.
