By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.
- A chameleon on the move 350 m/h
A chameleon's eyes swivel independently, so it can watch two directions at once before its slow, swaying steps.
- 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.
- A racing bobsled 150 km/h
Bobsled crews sprint to shove the sled at the start, then leap in, as those first seconds decide the race.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
