1. A swimming seahorse 1.5 m/h

   The dwarf seahorse is the slowest fish on record, fluttering a tiny fin dozens of times a second to barely move.

2. 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.

3. A red fox 51 km/h

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

4. A leaping blue marlin 108 km/h

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

5. A car cruising the German autobahn 200 km/h

   Parts of Germany's autobahn have no speed limit, where ordinary sedans legally travel faster than racetracks allow elsewhere.

6. A golden eagle in a dive 245 km/h

   A golden eagle can spot a rabbit from over three kilometres away, then fold its wings into a lethal stoop.
