What is the fastest animal in the universe and how fast can it run a mile?

The fastest animal is the cheetah and i think it goes 120KM per hour The fastest land animal in the universe (that we know of) is the cheetah. It has been clocked at speeds of 78 miles per hour. The cheetah isn't built for sustained speed, though. As an extra, it's zero-to-60 time is under 3 seconds. Some speeds, but not necessarily the top: Basilisk Lizard-faster than 1.5 meters per second -Water Top speed of a Cheetah-100�120 km/h or 70 mph -land Peak speed of a galloping Horse-90 km/h Gazelle-50 mph Top speed of an Antelope-80�90 km/h or 50�60 mph Ostrich [the fastest two-legged Animal]-70 km/h or 43 mph Top speed of a running Cat, or Dog-50 km/h or 30 mph Top speed of a running Human. (Asafa Powell's maximum speed in 100m sprint)-36.89 km/h As for the fastest Animal of all, does not run, it can glide downwards at 217 mph (349 km/h) -it's the Peregrine Falcon. That is hot While this information ^ is correct, if you want to get technical, for it's size the Tiger Beetle is the fastest Animal/Insect/land Creature, while it only runs approx. 5-7mph, 171 body length per second. If it was the size of a Human, it would run around 300 mph, that's a bit faster than Racecars Fastest Land Mammal is the Cheetah. (info from Butterknife)
