By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.
- 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.
- A chameleon on the move 350 m/h
A chameleon's eyes swivel independently, so it can watch two directions at once before its slow, swaying steps.
- A Komodo dragon walking 4.8 km/h
The largest lizard alive, it has venom glands and a bite that can topple prey far larger than itself.
- 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.
- A charging lion 83 km/h
Lions are the only big cats that live in groups, and a male's roar can be heard up to eight kilometres away.
- A running pronghorn antelope 97 km/h
The pronghorn can run far faster than any predator alive today, likely escaping a cheetah that went extinct in America.
