How fast can you run?
Research suggests that human beings could run as fast as 40 miles an hour�in theory�but
sprint speeds average to closer to 12-15 mph.,You may be thinking, �that�s not too shabby,�
but as you will see, a 15 mph sprint would not be enough to win a race with any of the
fastest animals on earth.
Many animals can go much faster than we can�some of them predatory.
What is the fastest animal on earth?
Let�s find out.
hello friends its arslan from secrets of the world and today i am going to show you 10
fastest creatures in the world ,.but before must subscribe my youtube channel and help
me getting 100 subscribers., let's started 10., ELK
There are a number of animals which run faster than the elk, but the elk deserves a mention
because it is a good deal larger and less �swift� looking than a gazelle or antelope.
Elks can be quite large, but their size and build should not deceive you.
The elk is capable of running at speeds as high as 45 miles per hour.
Do not make an elk angry.
If it charges you, it is going to win
9., BROWN HARE One of the smallest animals on our list is
the brown hare.
This little creature can run extremely fast, reaching speeds of up to 47 miles per hour.
The story of the tortoise and the hare is famous for a reason.
Hares really are incredibly fast creatures, and they are capable of outrunning the majority
of other animals.
8., THOMSON�S GAZELLE This is another creature in the same category
as wildebeests and lions, also capable of running at around 50 miles per hour.
Chases between lions and cheetahs and gazelles can be quite intense as a result of the close
speed matching.
Unfortunately for Thomson�s gazelles, they are the preferred prey of cheetahs, the fastest
animal on our list.
7., LION Unfortunately for the blue wildebeest, the
lion�s fastest speed almost exactly matches.
Lions can chase down their prey at around 50 miles per hour, making them extremely deadly
predators on the plains.
6., BLUE WILDEBEEST Another swift land animal which also inhabits
the plains is the blue wildebeest.
They are not quite as fast as the pronghorn, but are still pretty impressive at around
50 miles per hour.
5., PRONGHORN ANTELOPE This antelope takes second place among land
animals for speed.
It can easily out-sprint most predators at speeds as high as 60 miles per hour.
Interestingly enough, a pronghorn antelope is not actually an old world antelope, and
is native to North America.
Actual antelopes are quite fast as well, but not as fast as the pronghorn.
Also curious is the fact that the pronghorn is far faster than the predators which inhabit
North America.
This seems to indicate that it evolved its great speed at some point in the past under
the threat of a now-extinct predator, perhaps the American cheetah.
4., CHEETAH The fastest animal in the world is of course
the cheetah.
This animal is actually only slightly faster than the pronghorn antelope, and can reach
speeds of up to 61 miles per hour.
This record was set by an 11 year old cheetah in 2012 named Sarah.
Unlike most of the other animals on this list, the cheetah is a predator.
It represents a serious threat to animals on this list that inhabit the same geographic
areas (not just grasslands, but forest environments as well).
3., SAIL FISH What is the fastest sea animal?
That honor goes to the sail fish, which can read speeds up to 68 miles per hour�again
possibly faster than you are used to driving on the highway.
Can you imagine a fish racing alongside your vehicle and keeping up with you?
That�s one fast sea animal.
The characteristic sail is used when the fish is frightened in order to intimidate threatening
animals.
The rest of the time, it is kept folded up.
2., FRIGATE BIRD This spectacular avian makes the peregrine
falcon look slow by comparison.
It can reach speeds of up to 95 miles per hour�much faster than you drive on the highway.
It has the largest wingspan to body weight ratio and can stay in the air for intensely
long periods.
Sometimes these birds do not touch down for over week at a time.
How�s that for speed and endurance
1., PEREGRINE FALCON Birds have something of an advantage when
it comes to speed, for obvious reasons.
The peregrine falcon is particularly swift, capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 mph
while at a dive, making it a fearsome hunter.
The rest of the time it does not fly this fast, but that hardly matters to its prey.
It is the fastest animal on the planet when in a dive
