]]> The animal kingdom is full of incredible feats, and speed is no exception. From soaring birds of prey to lightning-fast fish, these creatures have evolved amazing adaptations to become the undisputed champions. Let’s dive in and explore the top five fastest animals on Earth.

Peregrine Falcon

This aerial hunter holds the title of the fastest animal on Earth, period. During its hunting dives, the peregrine falcon can reach mind-blowing speeds exceeding 200 mph!

White-throated Needletail

This swift may not be as famous as the falcon, but it’s a close contender for the fastest bird. In horizontal flight, the white-throated needletail can reach speeds up to 105 mph. A master of long-distance travel.

Cheetah

The king of speed on land, the cheetah is built for explosive bursts of acceleration. These spotted cats can go from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds, making them the fastest land mammal.

Sailfish

The ocean is no slouch in the speed department either. The sailfish, with its spectacular dorsal fin, can slice through the water at an impressive 74 mph, making it the fastest fish on Earth.

Spur-winged Goose

Rounding out our list is a surprising entry—the spur-winged goose. Don’t let its name fool you, this goose is a powerful flier, reaching speeds of up to 62 mph during short bursts.

]]> The fastest animals on the planet reside in the oceans. Sea creatures can move through water at greater speeds than we realize.

TikTok user @deepseamysteries recently shared a cool animated video that features a race between the fastest swimmers in the ocean. And it is a thrilling watch.

The animated marine animals are shown swimming through ocean depths, with each having a display of the biggest speed they are able to reach. It starts with the great white shark, which swims at the speed of 34.8 mph, but the predator gets swiftly matched by an orca that clocks at the same speed. At that point, they are starting to be overtaken by great barracuda (36 mph), bonefish (39.8 mph), and Atlantic bluefin tuna (43.5 mph).

While remarkable, these speeds prove to be nothing in comparison to other ocean speedsters. A sailfish comes in, clocking 68.3 mph, before a black marlin emerges on top with a stunning speed of 82 mph.

Who would have though animals could swim this fast #ocean #scary #storm #northsea #fish

♬ Hoist the Colours – Bass Singers Version – Bobby Bass

The clip quickly spread on social media, gaining 32 million views in a couple of weeks. However, some TikTok users contested the accuracy of the video, especially black marlin’s speed. Others pointed out that most of the marine animals featured in the video can clock the reported speed but only in short bursts.

]]> We, humans, do a lot of things better than animals, but running isn’t one of them. There are lots of animals that evolved into true “speed machines” either to catch their prey or to run away from predators.

We were curious to find out which are the five fastest land animals in the world, so we did a bit of research and ended up with interesting results.

Lion

The King of the Jungle might seem composed slowly walking through the jungle, but if he sees something he would like to eat, he will run fast. Lions can run at the speed of 50.0 mph (80.5 km/h).

Blue Wildebeest

Blue Wildebeest can run at 50 mph (80.5 km/h), which curiously matches the speed of their main predator, the lion. Blue Wildebeest mostly inhabit Western Africa including Angola, Botswana, and Mozambique.

Springbok

Springboks also have a lion as their main predator, but they have much better chances of surviving the wild than blue wildebeest since they can run at 55 mph (88 km/h). They mostly inhabit southern and southwestern Africa and are South Africa’s national animal.

Pronghorn

Africa isn’t the only continent with super-fast animals. Pronghorn, also known as American antelope, can achieve the speed of 55 mph (88 km/h).

Cheetah

Lions may be the King of the Jungle, but Cheetahs are the King of Speed in the animal world. Native to North, Southern and East Africa, they can achieve an incredible speed of 68.0–75.0 mph (109.4–120.7 km/h). Cheetah accelerates from 0 to 60.0 mph (96.6 km/h) in under three seconds.

]]> Every species is special in some way, but some stand out more prominently than the others. If you’ve ever wondered which animals are the biggest, loudest, fastest, or have the longest lifespan, here are your answers.

Fastest Animals

The fastest land animal is a cheetah at 75 miles per hour max speed, but there are some faster species in the big blue ocean. Black marlin, the fastest fish, can swim at around 80 miles per hour. That’s still not all – though it can’t be directly compared, there’s a bird that’s faster than both of them and it’s peregrine falcon which can fly as fast as 242 miles per hour.

Largest Animals

Things are much more clear in this department. 85 feet long, 210 tons heavy (on average) blue whale is the largest animal in the world.

Loudest Animals

While the blue whale can produce sounds louder than a jet engine, there’s an even louder animal. It’s the tiger pistol shrimp with claws that can produce sounds at a decibel level of 200.

Longest Lifespans

The ocean quahog clam named Ming, who died in 2006, was estimated to be 507 years old and holds the record for the longest lifespan.
