It is the fastest mammal in the world and one of the fastest flying animals on level flight. Cheetah: 109.4–120.7 km/h (68.0–75.0 mph) [d] The cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 96.6 km/h (60.0 mph) in under three seconds, [58] though endurance is limited: most cheetahs run for only 60 seconds at a time.

This is a list of the fastest flying birds in the world. A bird's velocity is necessarily variable; a hunting bird will reach much greater speeds while diving to catch prey than when flying horizontally. The bird that can achieve the greatest airspeed is the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), able to exceed 320 km/h (200 mph) in its dives.
The cheetah is the world's fastest land animal. [ 92 ] [ 93 ] Estimates of the maximum speed attained range from 80 to 128 km/h (50 to 80 mph). [ 58 ] [ 61 ] A commonly quoted value is 112 km/h (70 mph), recorded in 1957, but this measurement is disputed. [ 94 ]
The title of "fastest land animal" doesn't belong to the cheetah or Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt -- instead, it goes to a tinier creature. Much tinier. Like, the size of a sesame seed. Samuel ...
The peregrine is renowned for its speed. It can reach over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), [4] making it the fastest animal on the planet. [5] [6] [7] According to a National Geographic TV program, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world. [15] It was previously thought that the body temperature of a cheetah increases during a hunt due to high metabolic activity. [ 16 ] In a short period of time during a chase, a cheetah may produce 60 times more heat than at rest, with much of the heat, produced from glycolysis , stored to ...
Sarah was known as the world's fastest land mammal according to National Geographic magazine. [2] [3] She ran 100 meters in 5.95 seconds (more precisely, 5.9564 seconds and up to 61 miles an hour (98 km/h)) in 2012, when she was 11 years old. [4] She died on January 22, 2016, at the supposed age of 15. [5]
