60 min = 1 hour

The fastest land animal is the cheetah which is estimated to run at speeds of up to 75 mph meaning it could travel 75 ÷ 60 = 1¼ miles = 1.250 miles if it could sustain that speed for 1 minute. It can only sustain that speed for a distance of a little under 1/3 mile.

However, the fastest animal is a bird: the peregrine falcon has been recorded at 242 mph, meaning it could travel 242 ÷ 60 = 4 1/30 miles ≈ 4.033 miles. However, as this speed is obtained in a hunting dive and it does not soar to over 4 1/30 miles (about 21,300 ft; as a comparison Everest is about 29,000 ft) before starting its dive, it is not going to be able to sustain that speed for 1 minute.

The White-throated needletail (also known as the needle-tailed or spine-tailed swift) is the fasted bird in flapped flight at 105 mph meaning it could travel 105 ÷ 60 = 1¾ miles = 1.750 miles (assuming it can sustain that speed). Its recorded speed of 69.3 mph gives a distance of 69.3 / 60 = 1 31/200 miles = 1.155 miles.

In the fish world a black marlin has been recorded at 82 mph (based on how fast it has removed the line from a fishing reel when caught), giving a distance of 82 ÷ 60 = 1 11/30 miles ≈ 1.367 miles (assuming it can sustain that speed for 1 minute).

What animal has the fastest reflexes?

As far as I am aware, the animal with the fastest reflexes in the world (as opposed to the fastest animal on earth) is the mongoose, as it is the only animal quick enough to evade the strike of a cobra. though i agree with this, i think if something has the fastest reflexis it would be a bug but also there is a flower which snaps open almost completely instantly
