Cheetah is the fastest runner on land, which can reach 70mph on land.
Fastest swimmer is the Marlin, which can reach 60 mph in bursts (not many human vehicles can achieve this submerged).
Fastest flier and fastest period is the Peregrine Falcon, at over 200 mph in a dive.

No they're not. They're the fasted LAND animal. The Peregrine Falcon is the fasted animal, which can reach speeds of over 200 mph in a dive.

The second fastest land animal would be the Cheetah's prey, the gazelle.

They're the fastest mammal, with the Pronghorn antelope coming in second. The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird, with the fastest ocean denizen being the barracuda.
