1. A sprinting cockroach 5.8 km/h

   A cockroach can survive for weeks without its head, breathing through tiny holes along its body.

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. An arrow loosed from a bow 230 km/h

   A modern compound bow uses pulleys to store huge energy, launching an arrow with deadly accuracy.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. A bullet from a .357 Magnum 1.5K km/h

   A supersonic bullet creates a tiny sonic boom, which is part of the sharp crack you hear from a gunshot.
