Number Twos

The American pronghorn antelope is the second fastest land animal in the world, capable of speeds up to 86km/h.

At 629 metres, the KVLY/KTHI TV mast is currently the second tallest structure in the world.

The Chloe diamond is the second most expensive diamond to be sold at auction. It cost £8m and is the size of an eyeball.

The second oldest tree is a great basin bristlecone pine, known as Methuselah, at 4,844 years old.

 

I like to acknowledge the also-rans in the big game of life. Not everyone gets to be a winner.
