1. Our first event is the long jump! The competitors line up in what promises to be a fiercely close contest. In the end, it is narrowly won by this beautifully patterned creature, as its "drift" cheer it on. What type of animal is this?
2. Our next event is the 100m sprint - seen by many as the most impressive event to master in the animal kingdom. This event was dominated by the mammals once again. There was little surprise when the bookies' favourite, the cheetah, took gold. However, which animal snatched the silver medal?
