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)
