- A crawling baby 1.4 km/h
Babies often invent their own crawling styles, from the classic hands-and-knees to a one-legged commando shuffle.
- 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.
- A wild boar running 45 km/h
Wild boars are spreading across the globe, rooting up so much soil they reshape entire ecosystems.
- The core of a jet stream 442 km/h
Pilots ride these high-altitude winds to save fuel, which is why eastbound flights are often much quicker.
- 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.
- A Boeing 747 cruising 920 km/h
The 747's hump exists because the cockpit was put on an upper deck so the nose could hinge open for cargo.
