About this series
Who holds the world record triple jump record — for bullfrogs?
Rosie, the Ribeter.
She set the record in May 1986 at 21 feet 5 3/4 inches.
Her record has stood for over 30 years.
This is her story.
It all started with Mark Twain and his famous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." After it was published, the Calaveras County fair started the Jumping Frog Jubilee(TM), which has run since 1928.
Over the years, the frogs have jumped farther.
Why? Scientists say it's because of the frog jockeys, the men and women who catch and jump the frogs.
Listen to this extraordinary story of a man and a frog.

Fish Can Be Smarter Than Primates: To understand the plurality of intelligence, look under water.
Sep 22, 2016
Intelligence is shaped by the survival requirements that an animal must face during its everyday life, according to cognitive ecology. Some birds can remember where they buried tens of thousands of nuts and seeds, which allows them to find them during the long winter months; a burrowing rodent can learn a complex underground maze with hundreds of tunnels in just two days; and a crocodile can have the presence of mind to carry sticks on her head and float them just below an area where herons are nesting, then pounce when an unwary bird swoops down to collect nesting material. What about the men
