By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A swimming seahorse 1.5 m/h

   The dwarf seahorse is the slowest fish on record, fluttering a tiny fin dozens of times a second to barely move.

2. A swarming desert locust 14.5 km/h

   A single locust swarm can contain billions of insects and devour as much food in a day as tens of thousands of people.

3. A koala on the run 30 km/h

   Koalas sleep up to 22 hours a day because their eucalyptus diet is so low in energy and mildly toxic.

4. A red fox 51 km/h

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

5. A car cruising the German autobahn 200 km/h

   Parts of Germany's autobahn have no speed limit, where ordinary sedans legally travel faster than racetracks allow elsewhere.

6. A helicopter at top speed 290 km/h

   A helicopter's top speed is capped because the blade tips would approach the sound barrier and lose lift.
