Many palaeognaths are quite large birds, relying on running speed and vicious kicking to defend themselves... But other paleognaths, like the three spacies of kiwi(Apteryx) living on New Zealand, are small, shy, retiring creatures. Palaeognath birds are grouped together on the basis of their distinctive palate morphology, from which they receive their name("old jaw"). Most of the birds classified in the Palaeognathae are flightless. 2, record 9, English, - paleognath

Bungee Jumping first started hundreds of years ago in the South Pacific island of Vanuatu. Young native tribesmen used to leap off huge trees with vines tied to their ankles, as a test of manhood. Contrary to popular belief, modern Bungee Jumping was founded in 1979 from the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. Since then Bungee Jumping has spread to many other countries across the globe, of which America, France, New Zealand and Britain are but a few. 4, record 15, English, - bungee%20jumping

Comme pour tous les autres sports - il y a lieu de distinguer entre le sport ou l'activité, et l'appareil utilisé. Ainsi, «l'élastique» ou «bungee»/«benjy»/«benji» constitue l'appareil (qui, au Québec, doit répondre aux normes de la CSST), et «saut à l'élastique», «saut en élastique» ou «saut en bungee»/«saut en benjy»/«saut en benji"» l'activité et le saut lui-même. Cependant, dans l'usage, «bungee» (et ses variantes) signifie également «saut en bungee», tant l'activité que le saut. 4, record 15, French, - saut%20%C3%A0%20l%27%C3%A9lastique
