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 yellowfin tuna 73 km/h

   Tuna are warm-blooded among mostly cold-blooded fish, letting their muscles fire faster for high-speed chases.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. A Boeing 747 cruising 920 km/h

   The 747's hump exists because the cockpit was put on an upper deck so the nose could hinge open for cargo.

6. A 5.56mm rifle bullet 3.1K km/h

   Small, fast rifle rounds tumble on impact, transferring energy in ways a slower, heavier bullet would not.
