• Although they don’t fly, cassowaries can jump from a standing position 5 feet (1.5 m) into the air, and ostriches can run nearly 45 miles (70 km) per hour.
• Emperor penguins’ wings are so strong they can break human leg bones with one swipe!
• God designed every individual with a unique combination of skills to bring Him glory.
