By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.
- A three-toed sloth 240 m/h
Sloths move so slowly that algae grows in their fur, giving them a greenish camouflage in the canopy.
- A scurrying hedgehog 6.4 km/h
A startled hedgehog rolls into a tight ball, raising up to 6,000 spines that few predators dare to bite.
- A migrating monarch butterfly 8 km/h
Monarchs migrate thousands of kilometres to the same forests their great-grandparents left, guided by instinct alone.
- A swarming desert locust 14.5 km/h
A single locust swarm can contain billions of insects and devour as much food in a day as tens of thousands of people.
- 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.
- The International Space Station in orbit 28K km/h
The station circles Earth so fast its crew sees about 16 sunrises and sunsets every single day.
