By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A gentoo penguin swimming 36 km/h

   Gentoos are the fastest underwater birds, porpoising in and out of the water to breathe without slowing down.

2. A running spotted hyena 63 km/h

   Spotted hyenas are skilled hunters, not just scavengers, and live in matriarchal clans led by females.

3. A yellowfin tuna 73 km/h

   Tuna are warm-blooded among mostly cold-blooded fish, letting their muscles fire faster for high-speed chases.

4. A cheetah at full sprint 120 km/h

   A cheetah can go from a standstill to highway speed faster than most sports cars, but only for a few seconds.

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. A top-fuel dragster 540 km/h

   A dragster covers a quarter mile in under four seconds, accelerating harder than a fighter jet off a carrier.
