The fastest animal in the world? Too easy for most of you....now answer which is the 2nd fastest animal ?

Answer 1

Fastest animals - Spine Tailed Swift @ 220mph then the Peregrine Falcon @ 200mph.

Fastest land animals - Cheetah @ 70 mph then the Pronghorn Antelope @ 61 mph

Answer 2

the fastest land animal as u all know is the cheetah, the second is the black buck- a deer .it can run around 70.
the fastest fish is the sail fish and the fastest living thing is the peregrine falcon.

Answer 3

the Peregrine falcon is easily the fastest animal. Most reports will say they have a top speed of approximately 200 mph. There are documented reports of Peregrine's reaching speeds in excess of 240 mph. Remember, they only dive as fast as necessary to catch up to a prey item. Just because MOST people have never seen them at a faster speed is not proof it doesn't happen. They have also been documented at 75 mph in level flight. You can read the following link about Ken Franklin for more information.

Answer 4

Fastest in what respect?
Runner?
Flier?
Walker?
Swimmer?
Thinker?
Shooter?
Reproducer?
Diver?

Then, which animal is judged the fastest may depend on whether speed is measured in absolute terms (e.g., meters per second [m/s]) or in relative terms (e.g., body lengths per second [bl/s]

Here's a blurb about a marine organism that looks sort of like a roly-poly or pillbug called a copepod...

"Because many animals want to eat them, copepods have to be very fast to avoid being consumed. In fact, they are the fastest animals on Earth for their size. We have measured them swimming at 1 knot and since they are typically 1 millimeter long, that means they can swim 500 times their own body length per second. We usually think of a cheetah as the fastest animal but for a cheetah to go 500 body lengths per second, it would have to run 2,000 miles per hour! And the copepod is doing this through water, not air, so they are very specialized little swimmers. They flip their appendages (like a lobster tail flip), and their body forms into a bullet shape that is propelled through the water very fast."

So "fastest" might not be what you think at first
