As we have learned, jumping animals that stay in contact with the ground over a longer period of time have the opportunity to generate more kinetic energy before they lift off. So, perhaps this difference in jumping has something to do with contact time. If you assume that the frog are anatomically similar and follow isometric scaling, by what factor is the contact time
