By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A running spotted hyena 63 km/h

   Spotted hyenas are skilled hunters, not just scavengers, and live in matriarchal clans led by females.

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 Bugatti Chiron at top speed 510 km/h

   The Chiron is electronically limited; unleashed, its tyres would tear themselves apart from the sheer forces.

4. The motorcycle land-speed record 640 km/h

   Streamlined record bikes look like rockets on wheels, with the rider lying flat inside a sealed shell.

5. The SR-71 Blackbird 3.5K km/h

   The Blackbird leaked fuel on the ground because its panels only sealed once heat expanded them in flight.

6. A hypersonic missile 9.8K km/h

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