1. A giant tortoise 500 m/h

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

2. A casual cyclist 12.5 km/h

   The bicycle is one of the most efficient machines ever made, turning muscle into distance better than walking.

3. A honeybee in flight 22 km/h

   Bees communicate the direction of flowers by dancing, encoding distance and angle in their waggling moves.

4. A running roadrunner 32 km/h

   Real roadrunners prefer sprinting to flying and can kill rattlesnakes, far from the cartoon's gentle dodging.

5. A running spotted hyena 63 km/h

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

6. A golf ball off the driver 340 km/h

   A driven golf ball can briefly spin thousands of times a minute, which is what makes it climb and hold the air.
