Beat Backshall...this week, up a big pole
Steve during this week's Beat Backshall
In this week's Beat Backshall, Steve had to do a handstand on top of a tall pole, whilst he answered your questions. He only got one of the 5 questions wrong and that was: What is the slowest flying bird in the world? The answer is the woodcock.
The other questions he got right were:
- How long is a gannet's wingspan?
- Answer - 2m
- Which big cat cannot retract its claws?
- Answer - Cheetah
- How big can crocodiles grow?
- Answer - Around 6m
- Why do camels have humps?
- Answer - These are fat reserves which they can metabolise into water
So do you have a corker of a question that can beat boffinÌýBackshall? Send them in now!
