By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A king penguin waddling on land 2.8 km/h

   A penguin's waddle is surprisingly efficient, storing and releasing energy with each side-to-side rock.

2. A domestic cat at full sprint 49 km/h

   A house cat can outsprint many dogs over short distances, but tires quickly after the burst.

3. A yellowfin tuna 73 km/h

   Tuna are warm-blooded among mostly cold-blooded fish, letting their muscles fire faster for high-speed chases.

4. A Cessna light aircraft 220 km/h

   The Cessna 172 is the most-produced plane in history and the trainer that taught millions of pilots to fly.

5. A Bugatti Chiron at top speed 510 km/h

   The Chiron is electronically limited; unleashed, its tyres would tear themselves apart from the sheer forces.

6. The Earth orbiting the Sun 107K km/h

   We are all hurtling around the Sun fast enough to cross between two cities in a single second, yet we feel nothing.
