By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A running pig 17 km/h

   Pigs are smarter than dogs by many measures, able to learn their names and even play simple video games.

2. A charging African elephant 28 km/h

   Despite their bulk, elephants are the only animals that cannot jump, keeping at least one foot down at all times.

3. 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.

4. A luge slider 140 km/h

   Luge athletes steer a tiny sled with subtle leg and shoulder pressure while lying on their backs, feet first.

5. A Formula 1 car at top speed 372 km/h

   An F1 car generates so much downforce it could, in theory, drive upside down on a ceiling at speed.

6. The core of a jet stream 442 km/h

   Pilots ride these high-altitude winds to save fuel, which is why eastbound flights are often much quicker.
