By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A galloping zebra 66 km/h

   No two zebras have the same stripe pattern, which may help them recognise each other and confuse biting flies.

2. A racing greyhound 76 km/h

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

3. 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.

4. A Formula 1 car at top speed 372 km/h

   An F1 car generates so much downforce it could, in theory, drive upside down on a ceiling at speed.

5. 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.

6. A tsunami across the open ocean 800 km/h

   In deep water a tsunami is barely a ripple, racing as fast as a jet before rearing up near the shore.
