By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A Komodo dragon walking 4.8 km/h

   The largest lizard alive, it has venom glands and a bite that can topple prey far larger than itself.

2. A sprinting cockroach 5.8 km/h

   A cockroach can survive for weeks without its head, breathing through tiny holes along its body.

3. A striking barracuda 42 km/h

   Barracudas can lunge in sudden bursts to ambush prey, sometimes mistaking a swimmer's shiny jewellery for fish.

4. A cheetah at full sprint 120 km/h

   A cheetah can go from a standstill to highway speed faster than most sports cars, but only for a few seconds.

5. A golden eagle in a dive 245 km/h

   A golden eagle can spot a rabbit from over three kilometres away, then fold its wings into a lethal stoop.

6. 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.
