    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) [1] [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 falcon achieves its highest velocity not in ...

  3. Sailfish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailfish

    Considered by many scientists the fastest fish in the ocean, [8] sailfish grow quickly, reaching 1.2–1.5 m (4–5 ft) in length in a single year, and feed on the surface or at middle depths on smaller pelagic forage fish and squid. Sailfish were previously estimated to reach maximum swimming speeds of 35 m/s (125 km/h), but research published ...

    [citation needed] The shortfin mako shark is also credited as being the fastest shark in the ocean, reaching moving speeds of 50 km/h (31 mph) with bursts up to 74 km/h (46 mph). Due to this, it is often known as the " cheetah " or " peregrine falcon of sharks. " [ citation needed ]

  5. Aerial locomotion in marine animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_locomotion_in...

    The speed of motion in air is faster than in water because of drag force. The drag force is proportional to density of the fluid. The animal jumping out of water will feel almost no drag, since the air density is 1,000 times less than water density. Usually animals gain thrust for the jumping as how they lift themselves underwater.

  6. Tradeoffs for locomotion in air and water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradeoffs_for_locomotion...

    Because fluids are easily deformable and move in response to applied forces, efficiently locomoting in a fluid medium presents unique challenges. Specific morphological characteristics are therefore required in animal species that primarily depend on fluidic locomotion. Because the properties of air and water are so different, swimming and ...

  8. Sea lion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_lion

    Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). [3]

  9. Underwater speed record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_speed_record

    Its predecessor, the Alfa class, could attain short speed bursts of 40–45 knots (74–83 km/h; 46–52 mph) while submerged. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] There are also claims that the Soviet twin-propeller submarine K-222 , with titanium inner and outer hulls , reached 44.7 knots (83 km/h; 51 mph), fully submerged, during sea trials in 1969.
