Ostriches might be tied with North American Pronghorns as being the 2nd fastest land animal. The consensus of a variety of sources I have read indicate Cheetahs are the fastest for a short distance. They are frequently being quoted as being capable of going 70 mph, but only for a short distance. Over longer distances, I have seen both Ostriches and Pronghorns quoted as being able to go 60 mph.

No. The fastest animal in the WORLD would be. The Pereguine Falcon. In the air it hunts pigeons and to catch some they need to dive at them. Their dive is called a stoop which allows them to drop at an AMAZING 290mph! You now maybe have another question, How do they do this without passing out? Well, Pereguine Falcons have special duckts in the nostrils which prevent air presurising onto their brains by slowing the air down to a paste.
well no it is the second because road runners are way faster meaning they zoom and you cant see them run. ostriches are fast but you can see them running and they only run fast enouhgh so you cant see them. and there is your answer road runners.
It may be the fastest bird on land, but it can't fly.
Yes they are....i raise them at home and raced them one day....Ostrich blew the horse out of the water...haha
yes the ostrich is the fastest bird on foot going up to speeds of 40 mph or 65 kph
The ostrich is the fastest running bird in the world. It is not the fastest flying bird.
yes
yes
ostrich is the fastest

The ostrich is the fastest animal in the Sahara Desert. The ostrich can run at speeds of 40-45 miles per hour and is the third fastest land animal in the world behind the cheetah and the pronghorn.

Peregrine Falcon
ostrich is the fastest running bird,cheetah is the fastest animal,and usain bolt is the fastest human on the planet
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world. Other fast animals would be horses, dogs, antelope, bears.
If you mean land animals, behind the cheetah would come the pronghorn in second place.
No. The ostrich is faster and is, in fact, the world's fastest two-legged animal. An ostrich can sprint at 65 Kilometres per hour (40 miles per hour) and an emu can sprint at 50 kph, or 30 mph. The ostrich can also maintain a cruising speed of 50kph.
The fastest bird on earth is the Peregrine Falcon, which in a dive can reach speeds of approximately 180mph. And it is the fastest animal ever to walk this Earth!
The Cheetah is the fastest land running animal ever.
An Ostrich is the fastest animal on two legs. Traveling at 40 miles an hour at top speed.
