Rate itMember ratings
Hawks go over 300 km/h in the air. Cheetahs reach 110 km/h galloping on the ground. In the same places, along with the mentioned elite athletes, we discover some beings that live immersed in a slowness that can irritate us. How can nature bet on two such different strategies, these two contradictory ways of life? Speed and slowness mean different bodies, conflicting lives, contradictory evolution... It may seem like an unfair fight where the fastest are the winners, but it is not always like that.
