Every web site I have found states unqualified that the only animal that can't jump are elephants. I would like to see a fish or whale jump. I guess they can especially if you take them out of the water. A giant turtle? I'd like to see that.
I guess it all depends on what jump means. We think of leaving the ground and returning but what about jumping from a high leaf to a lower one?

are you serious? because elephants can jump. may not be able to pole vault or win in the olympics but they can jump. Now a snail may find it hard and so might a slug. but they sure jump for joy when they learn they were not born in paris.Escargot anyone?

Sponge
Cnidarians - Jellyfish
Flatworms
Roundworms
Annelid worms
Clams, Octopi and snails
Echinoderms - starfish and urchins
many arthropods
tunicates
(these are all animals)
looking for vertebrates?
cetaceans
manatees and dugongs
Id bet sea lions would have a hard time (especially the males)
Id also bet hippos and sloths would have difficulty
probably more! good luck!

I don't think slugs have much of a spring in their step... Slugs, snails, worms, snakes, some sea creatures like jellyfish and cockles. Erm...

Dont think giraffes can jump either...their legs are pretty weak and why would they need to anyway?
