By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.
- A gray squirrel 19.5 km/h
Squirrels plant thousands of trees by accident, forgetting where they buried many of the nuts they hid.
- A running spotted hyena 63 km/h
Spotted hyenas are skilled hunters, not just scavengers, and live in matriarchal clans led by females.
- A Bugatti Chiron at top speed 510 km/h
The Chiron is electronically limited; unleashed, its tyres would tear themselves apart from the sheer forces.
- The motorcycle land-speed record 640 km/h
Streamlined record bikes look like rockets on wheels, with the rider lying flat inside a sealed shell.
- 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.
- The Earth orbiting the Sun 107K km/h
We are all hurtling around the Sun fast enough to cross between two cities in a single second, yet we feel nothing.
