Question
Humans have always been obsessed with speed records. We build faster cars, planes, and boats to push the limits of what's possible. But Mother Nature has been running her own speed trials for millions of years, creating creatures that would leave our engineering marvels in the dust. Which animal takes the crown as Earth's ultimate speed demon?
▼
The peregrine falcon demolishes every speed record in nature, reaching a staggering 240 mph during its hunting stoop while diving for prey. These aerial hunters inspired fighter jet designs, although they pull G-forces that would knock out even the best fighter pilot. As for the cheetah, they only reach a measly 70 mph. Psh, rookie numbers.
