It's all about finding out what works for them, and different species have found different solutions.
Cheetahs are fast but not very strong. They hunt alone by catching up with a prey, and then eating as much as they can before a stronger species will scare them away from their kill. They'll go for small-to-mid-sized Gazelles mostly. Works for them.
Leopards are stronger but slower. They also hunt alone, but are experts at ambushing their prey. They're also strong enough to hoist their kills into trees, where there's less risk of it being stolen from them. That method works for them.
Lions are even stronger, hunt in packs and will usually go for bigger prey. With the help of the pack, they don't need the speed of the cheetah, or the ambush skills of the leopard.
The plant eaters have also opted for different approaches. One option is to grow big enough to be safe, as applied by Elephants, Rhinos and Hippos. Another is to always be a part of a big group, as with zebras, wildebeests, and most of the gazelles. Or you might opt for being small and staying hidden in undergrowth. Or something else.
We humans are a specie of extremely developed beings, the reaping the benefits of thousands of years of nature's trial by error evolution. Our brain is really what allowed us to flourish as a population, learn to walk on two legs, create complex thought patterns, and figure out how to build and create. Because humans require so much brain power, our developmental stage is longer than animals.
In addition, by developing opposable thumbs, allowing us to grasp things, and a super-developed brain able to work through problems, shelters were found and created. Increasingly efficient, these shelters allowed us to hide our young with more protection than burrows, nests. dens, and reefs. This eliminated the need for infants to reach adulthood very quickly.
Plants.
Cheetah, ostrich, jaguar, lion, some birds, etc. Lots of animals are faster than humans. Humans are actually relatively slow.cheetahs
Yes penguins can walk faster than humans :) <3 <3 <3
yes
yes they can.
Cats pupils adjust just a little slower than humans pupils.Actually the answer above is not correct at all. Cats eyes adjust almost faster than humans. The reason being, because they are going to fight or are scared/frightened there pupils grow on will. If the room is too bright they pupils will grow to very thin slits. When nothing is wrong with the cats there pupils are normal, like a perfectly smooth rhombus.

Animals reproduce much faster than humans and have more children at one time.
over 75 % of animals can run faster than humans.
Not necessarily. Cells in different parts of plants and animals reproduce (divide) at different rates. It would depend on what parts of the organisms you are comparing. For example: the ends of plant roots grow a lot faster than the other parts, and hair cells in animals grow faster than cells in other parts of the body.
Reggie Bush is fast, but I highly doubt he can outrun a lion. Animals like lions are naturally faster than humans when at their best than when humans are at theirs'.
Yes, tigers are faster than humans.
because they watch out for predetors
Do strawberrys grow faster than tomatoes
Watch animals with their behavior, they can pick up thing faster than humans.
Humans live longer so they have more rime to grow and ducks grow quickly because ducklings have more preditors than the adults.
because the smaller animals have shorter life spans, so they grow and develop faster.
Because it's rate of maturity and growth is much faster than a human's, even though cattle are 10x larger than humans. But it's also to do with the fact that they're prey animals, and the faster they grow, the less time frame they have for predators to get at them. Growth rate of a calf also has to do with his mother's milk quality and the type of feed or forage him and his mother are given to help him grow.
