The fastest land animal is the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), one of the smaller big cats, which can reach a dash speed of 70 to 75 mph (112 to 120 kph).

Faster is the bird called the White-Throated Needletail(aka Spine-tailed swift, Hirundapus caudacutus) which can fly at up to 105 mph (170 kph).

The fastest of all, but in a dive rather than level flight, is the Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) which can reach 200 mph (322 kph) in a vertical descent.
