It is much easier for a small animal to run uphill than for a large animal, because
1. It is easier to carry a small body weight
2. Smaller animals have a higher metabolic rate
3. Small animals have a lower O2 requirement
4. The efficiency of muscles in large animals is less than in the small animals
