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.

The ostrich is the fastest animal between the two, capable of running up to speeds of 45 miles per hour. Zebras, on the other hand, can run at speeds of around 40 miles per hour.
The ostrich is the largest bird in the world, but it can't fly.
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 peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world, reaching speeds of over 240 mph in a dive. The cheetah is the fastest land animal, capable of sprinting up to 75 mph. The ostrich is the fastest bird on land, reaching speeds of up to 45 mph, while the sailfish is the fastest swimmer, able to swim at speeds of around 68 mph.
