SortStack #1457 — 2030-06-05

By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. A luge slider 140 km/h

   Luge athletes steer a tiny sled with subtle leg and shoulder pressure while lying on their backs, feet first.

4. A downhill speed skier 255 km/h

   Speed skiers tuck into an egg shape and wear airfoil helmets, accelerating faster than a free-falling skydiver.

5. 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.

6. 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.
