By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A casual cyclist 12.5 km/h

   The bicycle is one of the most efficient machines ever made, turning muscle into distance better than walking.

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 running reindeer 80 km/h

   Reindeer eyes change colour with the seasons, turning blue in winter to see better in the dim Arctic light.

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. A powerful soccer free kick 132 km/h

   A well-struck free kick can swerve in mid-air as spin and airflow bend its path around a defensive wall.

6. 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.
