This Chinese tree frog is one of the greatest athletes you'll ever lay eyes on

This Conservation International handout photo shows a large tree frog, Nyctimystes sp., with enormous eyes that was found next to a clear running mountain river during a Conservation International (CI) led Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) expedition of Papua New Guinea's highlands wilderness in 2008, is believed to be new to science. The discoveries were announced March 25,2009 following analysis of the species that were found in July and August of 2008 during a month-long exploration of Papua New Guinea’s central mountains. CI scientists were joined by scientists from Papua New Guinea and the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Montclair State University to explore the region alongside members of local communities. More than 600 species were documented during the expedition.

Science taught me something today. Tree frogs might be the best athletes on the planet, pound for pound.

Look. I know that sounds stupid. They can't windmill a basketball at 40 years old like LeBron James can. They're not as fast as Sha'Carri Richardson or whatever. They can't do any of the sorcery Simone Biles pulls off at the drop of a hat.

But I guarantee you none of them can make something as mundane as hopping onto a pole seem like taking a morning stroll around the neighborhood.

I mean, just watch this, you guys.

What you're watching here is a Chinese flying tree frog vaulting onto a pole simulating a tree branch.

Researchers filmed five tree frogs making hundreds of jumps onto poles of various sizes, according to science.org. The "branches" ranged in size anywhere from the size of a dime to the size of a toilet paper roll.

As you can see, frogs are so flexible that they can adjust their bodies in milliseconds to grab onto the surface with their feet, hands and even their bellies to ensure a safe landing.

What happens if they miss, you ask?

Have you ever played Frogger? What happens when you jump onto the wrong spot while crossing the street? That's the answer. It's life or death for these precious froggies. Not only are they incredible athletes, but they do their thing under enormous pressure every single day.

I will admit that watching this in slow motion probably hypes it up a bit. But that's the thing! When this is at full speed, you can barely see it. You can't properly appreciate it.When it's in slo-mo? You guys. This is prime Wilt Chamberlain.

Get this froggy in the Frog Olympics. If the Frog Olympics don't exist, then create them. We need this.
