Geology George's Great Greyhound

Although the Greyhound can run very fast, they only run for short periods and tire out very quickly. They can accelerate up to 60 km/h is as short as 3 strides – thatโs faster than we drive our cars in the middle of town! Although they are very athletic, greyhounds only need about 30 minutes of exercise per day to keep them healthy and are happy to laze around for the rest of the time.
