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.

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.

Juan Oliphant is a talented photographer from Hawaii who captures the wonderful world under the ocean’s surface. Oliphant holds a degree in fine art and photography and believes that a photo is worth more than a thousand words.

“I try to capture as much feeling and evoke as much emotion as I try to evoke people to ask questions,” he said to Design You Trust. “I want to capture and share moments that start a conversation about the animals and the connection and relationship we have with them. I use my time, talents, and work around the world to help change people’s fear of sharks into fascination and respect.”

Words by @oceanramsey The ocean is incredible, the marine creatures I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and the things I’ve seen never cease to amaze and astound me. While filming for a documentary we were working on @savingjawsmovie I had the honor of spending a lot of time observing humpback whales. This day the mother would swim her calf to the surface right in front of us. Sometimes she would go sleep below and the calf would play responding and mimicking the movement of my arms. During this quiet time with both the mother and calf floating motionless on the surface, occasionally breathing and occasionally waving their giant pectorals wide and slow. I lifted my arms out wide too and the calf watched curiously 💙 The peaceful presence of these graceful creatures is humbling. Whales were once hunted to the brink of extinction but enough people cared to speak up and protect them and I thank those in the older generations who were a part of that. I hope enough people will be inspired to help sharks get the same protection whales and dolphins have. I know not every country treats them the same but sharks need help now more than ever. #HelpSaveSharks #SaveTheOcean #Whales #Ocean #Humpbackwhales #Amazing #beautiful #instagood #madeofocean #Oneocean #oneoceanglobal #freediving #good #Conservation Photo taken in the #SouthPacific Photo by @juansharks Wetsuit #ladyshark by @xcelwetsuits collab @oneoceandesigns conservation benefit.

This is a Split image of Riley the tiger shark roaming the surface with his dorsal fin out. It so rare for us to see tiger sharks @oneoceandiving. In 20 years of diving the north shore, actively looking for Sharks, I have only seen around 30 deferent individual tiger sharks.. IUCN has tiger sharks listed as a threatened species with less than 30,000 world wide. Tiger sharks have a vital role in our oceans ecosystem, literally the garbage men, taking care of the dead rotten things that no other shark would want to. Also studies show how tiger sharks move different species in and out of areas , like sea turtles so they don’t over graze sea grass. There is so much more yet to be discovered about sharks, but we are running out of time at the rate sharks are being killed. World wide, humans have killed off over 90 percent of shark populations in just the last 50 years and continue to kill over 70 million sharks each year. You can make a huge impact on the survival of sharks by just asking were ur sea food comes from. If it is not sustainably caught from local fishermen DON’T EAT it. The long line fishing fleets are basically destroying our ocean and wasting resources with the amount of by-catch “discarded unwanted fish, most of which is sharks”. Some conservative reports of by-catch average 40 to 50 percent of total catch others report up to 80 percent on long line fisheries. This is not just about the devastation of shark populations, it is about the survival of our ocean. Most of the seafood consumed by humans comes at a cost to the environment that should be unacceptable. There is still a short window of time to reverse the damages but the time to change is now. Support local sustainable fishermen or better yet convert to a plant base diet if u can. #YouCanMakeADifference #Sustainable #seafood #stopsharkfishing #stoplonglinefishing #helpsavesharks #askwhereyourseafoodcomesfrom #supportlocalfishermen or #goplantbased photo by #juansharks using @aquatech_imagingsolutions @cressi1946 @xcelwetsuits @north_sails @guayaki
