Episode n.4 (🍀) - Nature - "Honey, I blew up the cockroach"
What if we make the ordinary American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) a bit bigger... Well, perhaps, not a bit but still... 🦹♂️
--- Transcription ---
3.36 mph OR 5.4 km/h
is the American cocroach's fastest-ever top speed recorded
Let's make some transformation
143 mph OR 230 km/h
it would make if he would be same size as an average lion 🦁 ( =49 mph or 80 km/h)
553 mph OR 890 km/h
it would make if he would be as tall as an average human 🕴 ( =~ 165 cockroaches above each other)
553 mph OR 890 km/h
it's just a bit less than the top speed of Boeing 747 ✈️
And...
To reach the cockroach's speed an ordinary desert tortoise would be same size as 4 SUVs put together (🐢= 🚙🚙+🚙🚙)
That's it...
