By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A sprinting cockroach 5.8 km/h

   A cockroach can survive for weeks without its head, breathing through tiny holes along its body.

2. A striking barracuda 42 km/h

   Barracudas can lunge in sudden bursts to ambush prey, sometimes mistaking a swimmer's shiny jewellery for fish.

3. A racing greyhound 76 km/h

   Greyhounds reach their top speed in just a few strides and spend much of a sprint completely airborne.

4. A common swift in flight 113 km/h

   Swifts can stay airborne for nearly a year without landing, even sleeping on the wing high above the ground.

5. A luge slider 140 km/h

   Luge athletes steer a tiny sled with subtle leg and shoulder pressure while lying on their backs, feet first.

6. A Bugatti Chiron at top speed 510 km/h

   The Chiron is electronically limited; unleashed, its tyres would tear themselves apart from the sheer forces.
