1. A Komodo dragon walking 4.8 km/h

   The largest lizard alive, it has venom glands and a bite that can topple prey far larger than itself.

2. A red fox 51 km/h

   Foxes may use Earth's magnetic field to aim their pounces, lining up on prey hidden under snow.

3. A charging lion 83 km/h

   Lions are the only big cats that live in groups, and a male's roar can be heard up to eight kilometres away.

4. A car cruising the German autobahn 200 km/h

   Parts of Germany's autobahn have no speed limit, where ordinary sedans legally travel faster than racetracks allow elsewhere.

5. A golf ball off the driver 340 km/h

   A driven golf ball can briefly spin thousands of times a minute, which is what makes it climb and hold the air.

6. The SR-71 Blackbird 3.5K km/h

   The Blackbird leaked fuel on the ground because its panels only sealed once heat expanded them in flight.
