1. A garden snail 50 m/h

   A snail can sleep for up to three years during droughts, sealing itself inside its shell until rain returns.

2. A charging black rhinoceros 54 km/h

   A rhino's horn is made of keratin, the same material as your hair and nails, not bone.

3. A galloping zebra 66 km/h

   No two zebras have the same stripe pattern, which may help them recognise each other and confuse biting flies.

4. A galloping wildebeest 92 km/h

   Over a million wildebeest migrate in a giant loop each year, a journey so vast it is visible from space.

5. A Category 5 hurricane's winds 300 km/h

   A single mature hurricane can release more energy in a day than the world uses in electricity all year.

6. 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.
