asked my uncle why we don’t see new species developed like this anymore. he went silent for a while, with tears in his eyes, and said, “son, there was a time when we understood the process. had the knowledge. we had the technology. we can’t make this. we don’t know how anymore”
still remember watching a David Attenborough documentary where he mentioned that at full gallop the Cheetah's whole body is lifted off the ground longer than the times the paws makes contact, so in a way the Cheetah is almost flying.
