1. 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.

2. An Olympic swimmer at full speed 9.3 km/h

   Top swimmers shave their bodies to cut drag, trimming fractions of a second that can decide a gold medal.

3. A striking barracuda 42 km/h

   Barracudas can lunge in sudden bursts to ambush prey, sometimes mistaking a swimmer's shiny jewellery for fish.

4. A bullet train at full speed 330 km/h

   Japan's bullet trains have a near-perfect safety record, with average delays measured in seconds, not minutes.

5. The land-speed record car 1.2K km/h

   ThrustSSC became the first car to break the sound barrier, its twin jet engines kicking up a desert dust storm.

6. A bullet from a .357 Magnum 1.5K km/h
