Cheetahs can reach or exceed 70 mph in short bursts. Pronghorns can come close to that but the cheetah is still the fastest land animal. The highest horse race speed ever recorded over two furlongs was 70.76 km/h (43.97 mph) which is considerably slower than a cheetah.

Is the shark the fastest animal in the world?

no, the fastest animal in the world is a peregrine falcon in a vertical dive. it can reach speeds of up to 200 mph The fastest land animal is the Cheetah with an average speed of 70 mph. The fastest water based animal is the Sail Fish which is a member of the BillFish family, It can travel at speeds of 60 mph. However the fastest animal in the world is of the flying variety, and is a peregrine falcon which can exceed 200 mph when diving to catch a meal. Hope this helps Raver.


Which is the fastest running animal in all?

Not all zoos have a Cheetah, but they are the fastest land animal, and most of the larger zoos have them. They are not only famous for being the fastest land animal, they are also listed on the IUCN Red List with a status of "Vulnerable". This combined with the beauty of the animal makes them highly desirable to have in a zoo. For more details, please see site listed below.

What is the fastest wind seen in the sky?

That depends on where you define the sky to begin. Winds a few hundred feet above the ground in tornadoes have been known to exceed 300 mph. If tornadoes don't count, then the fastest wind in the sky would occur in the jet stream, where winds can occasionally exceed 250 mph.

What is the top 10 fastest things on earth?

Answer 1:Light is the fastest thing on earth. Light travels about 186,282 miles (more than seven times the circumference of Earth) in one second. In modern physics, light is regarded as the fastest thing in the universe, and its velocity in empty space as a fundamental constant of nature denoted by c.Actually from what I learned in science class light TRIES to travel at c and can, when it hits an object, go through it, reflect off of it, absorb and turn into thermal energy (heat) or reflect. It also is the fastest thing in the universe. It travels in waves that move in straight lines. The only thing you can see is light.Update:Despite fairly recent experimental results that suggested neutrinos could exceed the speed of light in a vacuum, this has since been attributed to measurement error.See the "related links" for a recent story on this matter.

How high can the wind speed go?

The fastest winds on Earth occur in exceptionally violent tornadoes. There winds may, on rare occasions, exceed 300 miles per hour.


How fast was an iguanodon?

Iguanodon wasn't the fastest dinosaur known. All we know of dinosaurs is from the fossils we find of them, and from comparisons of those fossils to animals that are still around. For this reason it is extremely difficult to determine the top speed of any dinosaur. What we do know is that some of the fastest dinosaurs were the relatively small ones with very long legs. These include some raptors like Velociraptor, Ornithomimids such as Gallimimus and Ornithomimus. If you include the fact that birds evolved from dinosaurs, than the fastest animal in the world, the Peregrine Falcon, is a dinosaur. When it dives it can exceed 200 miles per hour!


Do cheetahs steal food?

Cheetahs rarely would have an opportunity to steal food as they are the smallest apex predator in their range. However, other predators, such as lions, leopards, hyenas and packs of wild African dogs will frequently steal the kill of a cheetah. In some areas, this may exceed 50% of the cheetah's kills.


What is the worlds costly car and why?

Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. However, the title for the fastest car goes to the SSC Ultimate Aero which exceed 253 mph pushing this car to 2nd place for the fastest car.
