Show me a jumping dolphin. Was about to ask for a jumping whale, then realized we had those in Disco not too long ago.

If you want majestic pics
Jumping is a act performed on land so lets keep it to mammals who walk on land.

oh seriously dude, I dig your thread here overall, but when you speak of every other mammal, & then discriminate some mammals because it doesn't fit your general definition of jumping. You either have to redefine what you think mammals are or what you think jumping is.
You simply can't nitpick like that
Ether dolphins aren't mammals, or they are mammals that can't jump & elevate themselves above the waterline at will
Don't make me come in here & readopt the role of Mental Marburg just to keep you in cheque.

Indeed, you better specify what you are talking about.

I'll do it
jumping
Use Jumping in a sentence
jump
[juhmp] Show IPA
verb (used without object)
1.
to spring clear of the ground or other support by a sudden muscular effort; leap: to jump into the air; to jump out a window.
2.
to rise suddenly or quickly: He jumped from his seat when she entere
P. isn't technically wrong by definition, but he is wholly wrong in that he chooses to ignore the whole of the defined meaning in order to not appear wrong
I know I must be coming off as a dick right now, but it's a small price to pay overall when reality is ignored despite the spirit of education
Mental Marburg simply takes no prisoners in cases such as these. That's just tradition.

Irrespective of semantics it is still not true, hippos, moles, sloths etc. to name a few.
And even then it may be do not jump rather than can not as there are many anecdotal examples of jumping elephants.http://zootorah.com/assets/media/essays/jumpingelephant.pdf

Today I found out that people will argue over anything, even over unimportant definition of jumping.

Today I found out:
this is more of a link to something useful that you would be better off knowing rather than not.
