By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A swarming desert locust 14.5 km/h

   A single locust swarm can contain billions of insects and devour as much food in a day as tens of thousands of people.

2. A bottlenose dolphin 60 km/h

   Dolphins sleep with half their brain at a time, keeping one eye open to breathe and watch for danger.

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 running pronghorn antelope 97 km/h

   The pronghorn can run far faster than any predator alive today, likely escaping a cheetah that went extinct in America.

5. A record fastball pitch 169 km/h

   A 100-mile-an-hour pitch reaches home plate in under four-tenths of a second, faster than a blink of choice.

6. A hypersonic missile 9.8K km/h

   Hypersonic weapons fly so fast and low they are extremely hard to track and intercept in time.
