By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A three-toed sloth 240 m/h

   Sloths move so slowly that algae grows in their fur, giving them a greenish camouflage in the canopy.

2. A red fox 51 km/h

   Foxes may use Earth's magnetic field to aim their pounces, lining up on prey hidden under snow.

3. A racing greyhound 76 km/h

   Greyhounds reach their top speed in just a few strides and spend much of a sprint completely airborne.

4. A maglev train at record speed 460 km/h

   Maglev trains float on magnets with no wheels, so the only friction left to overcome is the air itself.

5. A fired shotgun slug 1.9K km/h

   A shotgun slug is a single heavy projectile that turns a scattergun into a short-range, hard-hitting rifle.

6. A 5.56mm rifle bullet 3.1K km/h

   Small, fast rifle rounds tumble on impact, transferring energy in ways a slower, heavier bullet would not.
