1. A giant tortoise 500 m/h

   Giant tortoises can live over 150 years, ambling through more than a century of slow, steady days.

   Foxes may use Earth's magnetic field to aim their pounces, lining up on prey hidden under snow.

3. A running spotted hyena 63 km/h

   Spotted hyenas are skilled hunters, not just scavengers, and live in matriarchal clans led by females.

4. A racing greyhound 76 km/h

   Greyhounds reach their top speed in just a few strides and spend much of a sprint completely airborne.

5. An arrow loosed from a bow 230 km/h

   A modern compound bow uses pulleys to store huge energy, launching an arrow with deadly accuracy.

6. A maglev train at record speed 460 km/h

   Maglev trains float on magnets with no wheels, so the only friction left to overcome is the air itself.
