By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

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 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.

3. A Category 5 hurricane's winds 300 km/h

   A single mature hurricane can release more energy in a day than the world uses in electricity all year.

4. 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.

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. Concorde at cruising speed 2.2K km/h

   Concorde flew so fast that the friction heated its frame, stretching the whole plane several inches in flight.
