As for why four-legged animals can run faster than humans, this isn’t because we only have two legs or as a result of muscle fatigue, but because our torsos are positioned upright and feel the full force of gravity. 6/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Leg length matters. Animals with longer legs are able to push their bodies farther forward before their foot must leave the ground, extending the time they have to accelerate between midstance and liftoff. 5/7 — PolitiTweet.org
