By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A crawling slug 30 m/h

   A slug glides on a ribbon of self-made slime, which lets it cross even a razor's edge unharmed.

2. A domestic cat at full sprint 49 km/h

   A house cat can outsprint many dogs over short distances, but tires quickly after the burst.

3. A fast cricket delivery 161 km/h

   The fastest bowlers can make the ball rise off the pitch toward a batter's head in a fraction of a second.

4. 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.

5. The speed of sound at sea level 1.2K km/h

   Sound travels faster in warm air than cold, so a thunderclap's timing shifts slightly with the weather.

6. A hypersonic missile 9.8K km/h

   Hypersonic weapons fly so fast and low they are extremely hard to track and intercept in time.
