1. A sprinting cockroach 5.8 km/h

   A cockroach can survive for weeks without its head, breathing through tiny holes along its body.

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 leaping blue marlin 108 km/h

   Marlins can change colour when excited, their stripes lighting up electric blue during a hunt.

4. A racing bobsled 150 km/h

   Bobsled crews sprint to shove the sled at the start, then leap in, as those first seconds decide the race.

5. A record tennis serve 270 km/h

   The fastest serves leave the racket so quickly the returner must react before the ball has even crossed the net.

6. 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.
