The lion accelerates at the start of the chase by 9.5 m/s (34 km/h; 21 mph), whereas zebras, wildebeest and Thomson's gazelle accelerate by 5 m/s (18 km/h; 11 mph), 5.6 m/s (20 km/h; 13 mph) and 4.5 m/s (16 km/h; 10 mph) respectively; acceleration appears to be more important than steady displacement speed in lion hunts.

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] A close relative of the common swift, the white-throated needletail ( Hirundapus caudacutus ), is commonly reported as the fastest bird in level flight with a reported top speed of 169 km/h (105 ...
