Geri chairs and Medical Recliners are designed to allow someone to get out of the confines of their bed and be able to sit comfortably in a variety of positions while being fully supported. This type of medical seating nurtures a patient's independence and improves their quality of life significantly.
According to the new measurements, a snake can lunge forward about half a foot in only 70 milliseconds. Faced with such speed, a lot of prey won't stand a chanceâalthough some animals are closely matched, such as the kangaroo rat. But even if an animal can react in time, they might not be able to accelerate enough to escape. Snakes are evolved to be very fast, Clark says.
When on land, the Australian freshwater crocodile can âgallopâ up to 11 miles per hour (mph). But most crocodiles use a kind of âbelly run,â which can move them seven to 10 mph. And even if its prey stays out of the water, crocodiles can suddenly leap from the depths at speeds up to 30 mph, snatch an animal with its jaws and drag it under water! Theyâve got plenty of big, sharp teeth as well.
