Fastest animals

This is a list of the fastest animals in the world, by types of animal.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

Fastest organism

The fastest land animal is the cheetah, which has a recorded speed of between 109.4 km/h (68.0 mph) and 120.7 km/h (75.0 mph).[1] The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird, and the fastest member of the animal kingdom, with a diving speed of 389 km/h (242 mph).[2] The fastest animal in the sea is the black marlin, with a recorded speed of 129 km/h (80 mph).[3]

When drawing comparisons between different classes of animals, an alternative unit is used for organisms: body length per second. The fastest organism on earth, relative to its body length, is the Southern Californian mite, Paratarsotomus macropalpis, which has a speed of 322 body lengths per second.[4] The equivalent speed for a human, running as fast as this mite, would be 1,300 mph (2,092 km/h).[5] The speed of the Paratarsotomus macropalpis is far in excess of the previous record holder, the Australian tiger beetle, Cicindela eburneola, which is the fastest insect in the world relative to body size, with a recorded speed of 1.86 metres per second (6.7 km/h; 4.2 mph), or 171 body lengths per second.[6] The cheetah, the fastest land mammal, scores at only 16 body lengths per second,[4] while Anna's hummingbird has the highest known length-specific velocity attained by any vertebrate.

List of animals by speed
Rank Animal Maximum speed Class Notes
1 Peregrine falcon 389 km/h (242 mph)
108 m/s (354 ft/s)
[2][7]		 Flight-diving The peregrine falcon is the fastest aerial animal, fastest animal in flight, fastest bird, and the overall fastest member of the animal kingdom. The peregrine achieves its highest velocity not in horizontal level flight, but during its characteristic hunting stoop. While stooping, the peregrine falcon soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 200 mph (320 km/h).[2]
Assuming the maximum size at 58 cm, its relative speed clocks at 186 body lengths per second during its hunting swoop, the equivalent of a human running at 170 m/s (560 ft/s).
2 Golden eagle 240–320 km/h (150–200 mph)
67–89 m/s (220–293 ft/s)
[8]		 Flight-diving Assuming the maximum size at 1.02 m, its relative speed clocks at 66-87 body lengths per second, the equivalent of a human running at 60–80 m/s (197–262 ft/s).
3 White-throated needletail swift 169 km/h (105 mph)
[9][10][11]		 Flight
4 Eurasian hobby 160 km/h (100 mph)
[12]		 Flight Can sometimes outfly the swift
5 Mexican free-tailed bat 160 km/h (100 mph)
[13]		 Flight It has been claimed to have the fastest horizontal speed (as opposed to stoop diving speed) of any animal.
6 Frigatebird 153 km/h (95 mph) Flight The frigatebird's high speed is helped by its having the largest wing-area-to-body-weight ratio of any bird.
7 Rock dove (pigeon) 148.9 km/h (92.5 mph)
[14]		 Flight Pigeons have been clocked flying 92.5 mph (148.9 km/h) average speed on a 400-mile (640 km) race.
8 Spur-winged goose 142 km/h (88 mph)
[15]		 Flight
9 Gyrfalcon 128 km/h (80 mph) Flight
10 Grey-headed albatross 127 km/h (79 mph)

    Animal Maximum recorded speed Notes
    Peregrine falcon389 km/h (242 mph)
    [2][7]    		The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird, and the fastest member of the animal kingdom. It is not usually a fast animal, but its great speed is achieved in its hunting dive, the stoop, wherein it soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 200 mph (320 km/h). However, it does not hold first place when travelling in level flight.
    Golden eagle

    240–320 km/h (150–200 mph)

    		 In full stoop, a golden eagle can reach spectacular speeds of up to 240 to 320 kilometers per hour (150 to 200 mph) when diving after prey. Although less agile and maneuverable, the golden eagle is apparently quite the equal and possibly even the superior of the peregrine falcon's stooping and gliding speeds.
    White-throated needletail169 km/h (105 mph)
    [9][10][11]    		The fastest-flying bird in flapping flight.
    Eurasian hobby160 km/h (100 mph)
    [12]    		It can sometimes even outfly birds such as the swift when hunting.
    Frigatebird 153 km/h (95 mph) The frigatebird's high speed is helped by its having the largest wing-area-to-body-weight ratio of any bird.
    Rock dove (pigeon) 148.9 km/h (92.5 mph)
    [14]    		 Pigeons have been clocked flying 92.5 mph (148.9 km/h) average speed on a 400-mile (640 km) race.
    Spur-winged goose 142 km/h (88 mph)
    Red-breasted merganser 129 km/h (80 mph)
    [34]
    Gyrfalcon 128 km/h (80 mph)
    Grey-headed albatross 127 km/h (79 mph)
    [16][17]
    Anna's hummingbird98.27 km/h (61.06 mph)
    [23]    		The stated speed equals 276 body lengths per second, the highest known length-specific velocity attained by any vertebrate.
    Ostrich96.6 km/h (60 mph)
    [35]    		The ostrich is the tallest and heaviest species of all living birds. Although its bulky body means that flying is out of the question, the ostrich has adapted to life on the ground with impressive agility. Ostriches are superb runners that can sprint at speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h)[36] on average, with a peak 60 mph (96.6 km/h) during short periods, with 12-foot (3.7 m) strides. This also makes the ostrich the fastest animal on two legs. The ostrich is also an endurance runner and can jog at 30 mph (48 km/h) for as long as half an hour.
    1. Sustained ground speed for approximately nine hours with no rest on high tailwinds during an Antarctic storm.
    2. Swordfish and ostrich have approximately equal average recorded speeds.
    3. The average recorded speeds of both blue wildebeest and lion are approximately equal.

    Reptiles
    Animal Maximum recorded speed Notes
    Central bearded dragon40.23 km/h (25.00 mph)
    [37]
    Green Iguana35.41 km/h (22.00 mph)
    [38]    		Green Iguanas are the largest lizards to dwell in trees, and can move faster than the fastest snake can move along the ground.
    Leatherback sea turtle35.28 km/h (21.92 mph)
    [39]    		Leatherback turtles have the most hydrodynamic body design of any sea turtle, with a large, teardrop-shaped body.
    Black mamba22.53 km/h (14.00 mph)
    [40]
    Komodo dragon20.92 km/h (13.00 mph)
    [41]    		Komodo dragons are also speedy reptiles. They can run briefly up to 13 mph (21 km/h) but prefer to hunt by stealth.[41]

    Fish
    Animal Maximum recorded speed Notes
    Black marlin132 km/h (82 mph)A hooked black marlin has been recorded stripping line off a fishing reel at 120 feet per second (82 mph; 132 km/h).
    Sailfish109.19 km/h (67.85 mph)In a series of tests carried out in a fishing cam at Long Key, Florida, United States, sailfish swam and leapt 91 meters (300 feet) in 3 seconds, equivalent to a speed of 109 km/h (68 mph), although this speed includes leaps out of the water, which do not strictly qualify as swimming speed.
    Swordfish97 km/h (60 mph)The 60 mph (97 km/h) figure listed for the swordfish is based on a corrupted version of calculations made by Sir James Gray to estimate the impact speed necessary for a hypothetical 600-pound (270 kg) swordfish to embed its sword 3 feet in the timbers of ships, as has been known to occur; the figure seems to have entered the literature without question as though someone had actually timed a swordfish at that speed.
    Yellowfin tuna76 km/h (47 mph)
    [42]    		Many tuna species are capable of swimming at fast speeds colloquially cited at around 80 km/h (50 mph). The tails of tuna move fast enough to cause cavitation, which slows them down as vapour accumulates.[43] Tuna have bony fins without nerve endings, which prevents the fish from feeling the pain of cavitation but does not fully protect them from the implosive damage.
    Shortfin mako shark72 km/h (45 mph)Underwater and unimpeded by a fishing line, the Shortfin Mako has been reliably clocked at 31 miles (50 kilometres) per hour, and there is a claim that one individual of this species achieved a burst speed of 46 miles (74 kilometres) per hour. But it is extremely difficult to get a fish in the wild to swim in a straight line over a measured course. Laboratory measurements of numerous kinds of fishes — representing a wide range of body sizes — swimming against an artificial current have revealed a surprisingly uniform maximum burst speed of about 10 times the body length per second. Thus, for an average-sized, 6.5-foot (2-metre) Shortfin, its theoretical maximum speed might be something on the order of 45 miles (72 kilometres) per hour. Yet some estimates of the top-speed of a Shortfin Mako are considerably higher.

    Mammals
    Animal Maximum speed Notes
    Mexican free-tailed bat
    (in flight)    		 160 km/h (99 mph)
    [13]
    Cheetah 109.4–120.7 km/h (68.0–75.0 mph)
    [lower-alpha 4]    		 The cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 96.6 km/h (60.0 mph) in under three seconds, though endurance is limited: most cheetahs run for only 60 seconds at a time.[1] When sprinting, cheetahs spend more time in the air than on the ground.[44] See Sarah, the fastest cheetah.
    Pronghorn 88.5 km/h (55.0 mph)
    [lower-alpha 5]    		 The pronghorn (American antelope) is the fastest animal over long distances; it can run 56 km/h for 6 km (35 mph for 4 mi), 67 km/h for 1.6 km (42 mph for 1 mi), and 88.5 km/h for 0.8 km (55 mph for 0.5 mi).[1]
    Springbok 88 km/h (55 mph)
    [28][29]    		 The springbok, an antelope of the gazelle tribe in southern Africa,[29] can make long jumps and sharp turns while running. Unlike pronghorns, springboks are poor long-distance runners.[1]
    Wildebeest 80.5 km/h (50.0 mph)
    [lower-alpha 6]    		 The wildebeest, an antelope, exists as two species: the blue wildebeest and the black wildebeest. Both are extremely fast runners, which allows them to flee from predators.[32] They are better at endurance running than at sprinting.[31]
    Mountain Lion 80.5 km/h (50.0 mph)
    [45]    		 The lion (Puma Concolor) It is the second fastest wild cat with a top running speed of 80.5 km/h though it lasts only for very short bursts and can be highly exhausting, hence they have to be close to their prey before starting the attack.[45]
    Blackbuck 80 km/h (50 mph)
    [28][33]    		 The blackbuck antelope can sustain speeds of 80 km/h (50 mph) for over 1.5 km (0.93 mi) at a time.[33] Each of its strides (i.e., the distance between its hoofprints) is 5.8–6.7 m (19–22 ft).[28]
    Hare80 km/h (50 mph)Hares can reach maximum speeds of 35 mph (56 km/h)[46] in short distances of approximately 90 meters, and a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) for about 20 meters.[47]
    Jackrabbit 72 km/h (45 mph)
    [lower-alpha 7]    		 The jackrabbit's strong hind legs allow it to leap 3 m (9.8 ft) in one bound; some can even reach 6 m (20 ft).[56] Jackrabbits use a combination of leaps and zig-zags to outrun predators.[49]
    African wild dog 71 km/h (44 mph)
    [lower-alpha 8]    		 When hunting, African wild dogs can sprint at 66 km/h (41 mph) in bursts, and they can maintain speeds of 56–60 km/h (35–37 mph) for up to 4.8 km (3 mi).[60][61] Their targeted prey rarely escapes.[58]
    Kangaroo 71 km/h (44 mph)[lower-alpha 9] The comfortable hopping speed for a kangaroo is about 21–26 km/h (13–16 mph), but speeds of up to 71 km/h (44 mph) can be attained over short distances, while it can sustain a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) for nearly 2 km (1.2 mi).[63] The faster a kangaroo hops, the less energy it consumes (up to its cruising speed).[62]
    American Quarter Horse (Domestic Horse) 70.76 km/h (43.97 mph)
    [64]    		 The fastest horse speed was achieved by a thoroughbred.
    Greyhound (Domestic dog) 70 km/h (43 mph)
    [lower-alpha 10]    		 Greyhounds are the fastest dogs, and have primarily been bred for coursing game and racing.
    Onager 70 km/h (43 mph)[lower-alpha 11] The onager consists of several subspecies, which most likely share the same ability to run at high speeds.[69]
    Thomson's gazelle 70 km/h (43 mph)
    [lower-alpha 12]    		 Thomson's gazelles, being long-distance runners, can escape cheetahs by sheer endurance.[71] Their speed is partially due to their "stotting", or bounding leaps.[70]
    Coyote 65 km/h (40 mph)
    [lower-alpha 13]    		 Coyotes can easily reach 48 km/h (30 mph), and can sprint at 65 km/h (40 mph) when hunting.[73] Even when lacking a front foot, a coyote can still run at around 32 km/h (20 mph).[72]
    Big brown bat 64 km/h (40 mph) Big brown bats are reported to be one of the fastest bats reaching speeds of up to 40 mph.[75]
    Common dolphin 64 km/h (40 mph)
    [lower-alpha 14]    		 Common dolphins are the fastest marine mammal. When reaching their top speed, they take very short breaths. As an example, fin whales, which are much larger, can empty and refill their lungs in 2 seconds
    Zebra 64 km/h (40 mph)
    [lower-alpha 15]    		 Zebras have a home range anywhere between 11 and 232 sq mi (28 and 601 km2) and they can travel 10 mi (16 km) a day while grazing.[79]
    Tiger 64 km/h (40 mph)
    [lower-alpha 16]    		 Tigers live in jungles, and have been recorded going anywhere from 30 mph (48 km/h) to 40 mph (64 km/h), although only in short bursts.
    Hyena 60 km/h (37 mph)
    [lower-alpha 17]    		 The hyena can run up to 60 km/h (37 mph); some attribute this performance specifically to the spotted hyena.[83] They use their speed to chase their prey, sometimes traveling 15 mi (24 km) in a single chase.
    Human Instantaneous max. 47.56 km/h (29.55 mph)

    Avg max over fastest 10m to 20m was 45 kmh/28 mph.[84] Compared to other land animals, humans are ultramarathon runners and exceptionally capable of endurance—over very long distances, able to outrun every other species on land except certain dogs but exceptionally incapable of great speed.

    		 Usain Bolt set the 100 m world record at 9.58 seconds. His absolute fastest recorded speeds (between individual strides) during that sprint were 13.2 meters/second (29.55 mph / 47.52 km/h) between strides during the 50m to 70m intervals. Average overall maximum speeds over this 20m section of the race (where max speed is reached during approx. the middle) to 75m were 44–45 km/h (28 mph) before tapering from 75m onwards.[85]

    In the absence of significant external factors, non-athletic humans tend to walk at about 1.4 m/s (5.0 km/h; 3.1 mph) and run at about 5.1 m/s (18 km/h; 11 mph).[87][88][89] Although humans are capable of walking at speeds from nearly 0 m/s to upwards of 2.5 m/s (9.0 km/h; 5.6 mph) and running 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) in 6.5 minutes, humans typically choose to use only a small range within these speeds.[90]

    Wombat 40 km/h (25 mph)
    [91]    		 Wombats can maintain that speed for 150 metres (490 ft).[91]

    Invertebrates
    Animal Maximum recorded speed Notes
    Horsefly 145 km/h (90 mph)
    [92]    		 The pursuit maneuver used by male Hybomitra hinei wrighti, measured by interpolation of slow-motion cinematography.
    Members of Loliginidae and Ommastrephidae 36 km/h (22 mph) Many of these species "fly" out of the water to escape danger. The Japanese flying squid can glide for 3 seconds over 30 metres.
    Paratarsotomus macropalpis 22 cm/s (8.7 in/s)
    800 m/h (730 ft/ks)    		 0.7 mm long mite endemic to Southern California, tracked running up to 322 body lengths per second, equivalent to a human running at around 2,092 km/h (1,300 mph). Because of this feat, it is ranked the fastest animal on the planet relative to its body size. It can also withstand temperatures of 60 °C (140 °F), which are lethal to many animals.[5][93]
    Tiger beetle 6.8 km/h (4.2 mph)
    [6]    		 The Australian tiger beetle Cicindela eburneola, is one of the fastest running insects in the world relative to body size, which has been recorded at 6.8 km/h (4.2 mph) or 171 body lengths per second. It can fly at a speed of 27 mph.
