By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A running roadrunner 32 km/h

   Real roadrunners prefer sprinting to flying and can kill rattlesnakes, far from the cartoon's gentle dodging.

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 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.

4. A Cessna light aircraft 220 km/h

   The Cessna 172 is the most-produced plane in history and the trainer that taught millions of pilots to fly.

5. 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.

6. A top-fuel dragster 540 km/h

   A dragster covers a quarter mile in under four seconds, accelerating harder than a fighter jet off a carrier.
