If all the creatures of the animal kingdom had a race, who do you think will win? Definitely not the Tortoise, unless the Cheetah decides to take a nap or the Golden Eagle takes a long detour, and hundred other species withdraw from the race!
Experts measure speed as we normally would for a car: in kilometres per hour.
When you bring in the alternative unit of body length per second, the list gets a little more confusing. Based on this, the fastest organism on earth would be the Southern Californian mite!
Now, going by the regular calculation of speed, can you arrange these animals below from the fastest to not-as-fast?
