What is the average walking speed of a person? In reality, humans are not that fast. They walk at a humble average speed of 5 km/h. But they are already faster than many other land creatures. For example, insects are fast only for their small size. Other animals more comparable in size to humans, such as sloths, koalas and giant tortoises, are also left far behind: 1.6 km/h. Sloths live in places where it is too risky to move quickly because predators see them. They then move at a slow speed of 0.2 km/h. But these animals are among the slowest on our planet.

They move at a slow speed of 0.2 km/h. Giant tortoises walk at a maximum speed of 0.5 km/h. James is really fit and has been preparing his whole life for this day. That is why 24 km/h is just a jog for him, even if it is the average speed of others. 45 km/h - the fastest running speed ever recorded for a human being. Animals like elephants, squirrels and even polar bears stop to catch their breath behind our speedy buddy's back. 64 km/h - that is about the maximum speed he can reach on a bike without the help of a motor. It’s just enough to escape all the bears and canines like jackals, dogs and wolves The absolute champion of top speeds on this planet – the cheetah. Cruising across the grasslands at 120 km/h is crucial for these predators as they chase down these extremely fast Pronghorn Antelope. The maximum speed James can hope to reach without fins is only 4.8 km/h. That’s barely enough to swim past eels. The boat is faster than humpback whales, sea lions and small fish. But Jimmy is all about it so he decides to board a giant cruise ship Its roaring, deafening engines can accelerate this metal carcass up to 56 km/h leaving barracudas, dolphins and octopuses in its wake. The Peregrine Falcon to be exact, which can fly horizontally at an average speed of 90 km/h but can reach 111 km/h. The Bald Eagle which flies through the air at a speed of 120 km/h and reaches its peak at 159 km/h when it really goes all out.
