ANIMAL SPEED



TOP 10 FASTEST OF ALL ACCORDING TO TYPE 



Now let talk about speed in the animal world speed seems to one of the most import tool for predator and prey alike now we are go to see speed in the animal world in an all-new dimension.  





1.The fastest snake black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis)
The fastest snake in the world black mamba. is also one of the deadliest. The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) can move at speeds of up to 12.5 miles per hour (5.5 meters per second), and its bite can kill a human being in less than 30 minutes.



2.The fastest fish sailfish
sailfish is widely considered the fastest fish in the ocean. Clocked at speeds in excess of 68 mph, some experts consider the sailfish the fastest fish in the world ocean.




3.The fastest bird in flight Peregrine Falcon
The Peregrine Falcon can reach speeds of up to 240 miles per hour (mph) while diving! Long pointed wings help to direct them as they take these powerful dives to kill their prey, smaller birds. The peregrine has evolved a type of nasal covering that diverts the high pressure air from entering and damaging their lungs.



4.The fastest land mammal cheetah
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world and is able to reach speeds of up to 70 mph (112kmph). The cheetah can cover distances up to 500 m and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in five seconds (better than most sports cars).




5.The fastest insect tiger beetles
Australian tiger beetles, genus Cicindela, subgenus Rivacindela, (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) are the fastest running insects known. The fastest, Cicindela hudsoni, can run 2.5 meters per second (5.6 miles per hour). Throughout time, races have been run in order to decide who or what is the fastest of its kind.



6.The fastest rodent Brown Hare
The Brown Hare’s long back legs enable them to reach speeds of 77kph (48mph), the same speed as their predator the red fox



7.The fastest flightless bird ostrich
Ostriches share the order Struthioniformes with the kiwis, and other ratites. It is distinctive in its appearance, with a long neck and legs and the ability to run at maximum speeds of about 70 km/h (45 mph), the top land speed of any bird.



8. The fastest domestic mammal horse
A horse can run at speeds of up to around 27-40mph which is about 43.5-64.4km/h. The fastest speed a race horse had been recorded at a speed 43.97mph which is about 70.76km/h. The size of the horse is depending on the horses breed and diet.




9.The fastest predator in water Yellowfin tuna
Yellowfin tuna can leap at speeds of 50 mph (80 kph), which they achieve by folding their fins into indentations. There are several tuna species, but the yellowfin is among the largest. These enormous fish can weigh over 400 pounds (180 kg), and usually live in tropical and subtropical parts of the ocean. Yellowfin Tuna is also known as one of the fastest and strongest predators in the open ocean.




10.The fastest prey Pronghorn Antelope
The pronghorn Antelope can run exceptionally fast, being built for maximum predator evasion through running, and is generally accepted to be the fastest land mammal in the New World. The top speed is very hard to measure accurately and varies between individuals; it is variously cited as up to 70 km/h, 72 km/h, or 86 km/h. It is often cited as the second-fastest land animal, second only to the cheetah. It can however sustain high speeds longer than cheetahs
