   Chickens can recognise over a hundred individual faces, both other birds and the humans who feed them.

3. A scurrying hedgehog 6.4 km/h

   A startled hedgehog rolls into a tight ball, raising up to 6,000 spines that few predators dare to bite.

4. A galloping wildebeest 92 km/h

   Over a million wildebeest migrate in a giant loop each year, a journey so vast it is visible from space.

5. An ice hockey slapshot 178 km/h

   A slapshot flexes the stick like a spring, snapping stored energy into the puck for a brutal release.

6. A peregrine falcon in a dive 410 km/h
