what's the world's fastest animal?

Answer 1

cheetah is the world's fastest animal .

Answer 2

Cheetahs are the fastest land animals. They have been clocked at over 60 mph and some estimates place them at 70 mph. They can maintain this speed for about 350 yards before their body temperature reaches critical.

A close second on land is the pronghorn antelope which can reach 60 plus mph. However they can run considerably longer and can hold 45 to 50 mph for more than an hour.

The Peregrine falcon however can reach speeds in excess of 200 mph in a power dive. As such they hold the record for the fastest animal.

Answer 3

In land, the cheetah. A cheetah can travel up to 70 miles per hour. However, the cheetah is a short distance runner and can only maintain this velocity for about 200 to 300 yards.

In air, the peregrine falcon (duck hawk,) travels faster than any animal known. It can fly straight at about 90 miles per hour. In a sudden dive it can go as fast as 180 miles per hour.

In the seas, the Sailfish have been recorded to swim at speeds of up to 68 miles per hour. See the link below.

So the crown belongs to the peregrine falcon.

Answer 10

The cheetah, I think what comes close to that is a "Racer", what the hell is a "Racer" it's a long black snake that will attack you. It can go faster than you can run. I feel sorry for you if it bites you too. The damn thing is very poisonous.Yikes!
