By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A running gray wolf 57 km/h

   Wolves can travel over 30 kilometres in a single day while hunting across their vast territories.

2. A charging lion 83 km/h

   Lions are the only big cats that live in groups, and a male's roar can be heard up to eight kilometres away.

3. A record badminton smash 565 km/h

   The shuttlecock is the fastest object in any racket sport, though it decelerates almost as quickly as it launches.

4. A tank's sabot round 5.8K km/h

   A sabot round sheds a casing in flight, leaving a slim dart of dense metal that punches through armour.

5. A hypersonic missile 9.8K km/h

   Hypersonic weapons fly so fast and low they are extremely hard to track and intercept in time.

6. The Earth orbiting the Sun 107K km/h

   We are all hurtling around the Sun fast enough to cross between two cities in a single second, yet we feel nothing.
