it musten't hybernate
speed is not important but it must travel far
it has to last on as little food as possible
it would make a good team name

Simple... Emperor Penguin.
Has no one seen March of the Penguins!?!?!
Months in unhuman conditions with no food, when they do get food they have to walk like 80 miles. When not on land they can spend several months at sea.

For most endurance it would be the Sooty Shearwaters, they have an annual migration of 40,000 miles. They travel from New Zealand to the North Pacific every year. But they eat along they way (they're sea birds). Gray Whales eat very little during their migration, which is up to 12500 miles. The shearwaters or the sootys would make a better team name though.

I can tell you cheetah don't come close to the endurance of a wild dog. The cheetah can only run it's max speed for about 500 metres. The wild dogs are amazing hunters they have a 70% success rate compared to the lions 30% success rate. When the dogs hunt they start off trotting then it a jog then its a run then when they find an animal the sprint is on. There chases can last a long time they then devourer their kill in 30 seconds jog back to their den and regurgitate their kill to feed the young. i love the wild dogs they are my favorite animal.

Cheetahs, as much as I love them, have very little endurance as far as long distance travelling and stamina go.
The wildebeest (yes thats correct spelling) are amazing. They make these massive annual migrations over the nile river, huge decaying grasslands, and lion country. They are picked off, yes, but the ability to smash a crocodiles head in (In optimal conditions) is a fairly good sign of strength,
They migrate to find better food and water supplies, and migrate back later when the floods begin to come, overwhelming the once hospitable location with deadly tides.
They are durable, and have a great amount of stamina.
Just my two cents.

Wolves, etc, have great endurance and have to live on small amounts of food, they don't hibernate, and they can run with out stopping for hours, sleep, get up and keep going for days on end.
I <3 wolves.
Also sea creatures like whales that swim down from Alaska when they migrate.

Surely, it depends which kind of endurance you are referring to. Is it a hot climate they are found in, or a cold climate. Is it dry where they are or wet? Have they adapted to conditions in which they have to go for many days without food?
A camel will be hard to beat to survive in desert conditions, so will a polar bear in extremely cold conditions.
Does the animal hibernate for perhaps up to four months in winter, or aestivate in summer?. So, I don't think there is a short answer to your question.

African wild dogs can run as a pack for days waiting for sick game to fall by the way side. They are certainly a contender for the title.
