<p data-webtasks-id="19d58340-7fc1-458a">This might seem like a straightforward question but it isn't. Are we talking about the fastest animals on land, in the sea or in the air? Many birds can fly at speeds much faster than any land animal can run. Do we want to focus on an animal's top speed over a very short distance or its cruising speed (how fast it can go over long distances)?</p>
<p data-webtasks-id="eb4af58c-579c-4c1d">For this article, we've broken our list into three categories: the fastest animals on land, sea and air and attempted to note the five fastest in each category. We've indicated both the top speeds and the average speeds in most cases. Conflicting data may make our list somewhat different from other lists on the internet.</p>

<p data-webtasks-id="520d428e-5a53-40ec"><b data-webtasks-id="08e1cb7e-a7bd-48a3">1. Cheetah</b></p>
<p data-webtasks-id="18f9a687-ea4d-46f4"><a href="https://animals.howstuffworks.com/mammals/cheetah.htm" data-webtasks-id="b8b70635-30e4-4767">Cheetahs</a> have long fascinated people, with their gorgeous coats, stealthy manner and ability to achieve impressive speeds of <a href="https://www.awf.org/blog/cheetahs-worlds-fastest-land-animal" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="5bb4cae0-176e-436f">up to 70 miles per hour</a> (120 kilometers per hour). In fact, they can actually go from <a href="https://www.britannica.com/list/the-fastest-animals-on-earth" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="1e00ad1b-fc4a-4e87">zero to 60 mph</a> (97 kph) in as little as three seconds, similar to your average Corvette. However, they are not marathon runners, and can only keep up such high speeds for about <a href="https://safarisafricana.com/fastest-land-animals/" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="9af9895d-a3dd-4712">60 seconds</a>. Their normal running speed is closer to 40 mph (64 kph). Cheetahs are generally considered the world's fastest land animal.</p>
<p data-webtasks-id="450d3403-4196-423f">Cheetahs are naturally outfitted with several physical characteristics that help to make them so fast, including claws that don't retract (which helps them with traction on the ground), as well as unique pads on their feet. These cats are found across Africa, although their dwindling numbers mostly hang out in the southern and eastern areas of the continent. They use their incredible speeds to take down smaller prey, some of which are pretty speedy themselves. For instance, the blue wildebeest can reach speeds of 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour.</p>
<p data-webtasks-id="c8ad2f9f-2382-4309"><b data-webtasks-id="ffda7f58-6732-4330">2. Pronghorn</b></p>
<p data-webtasks-id="103495b2-8033-4807">The next time you visit the Wyoming area, it's entirely possible that you could lay eyes on a pronghorn or two. Though it is sometimes called the "pronghorn antelope," this hoofed beauty is not an antelope, but rather a cousin of antelopes and goats. Pronghorns are by far the fastest animals on land in North America, and the second-fastest animals in the world, topping out at speeds of around <a href="https://www.nwf.org/educational-resources/wildlife-guide/mammals/pronghorn" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="c1f41b89-a408-441d">60 mph</a> (98 kph). These deer-like mammals can maintain such speeds for up to a half-mile, <a href="http://www.uwyo.edu/barnbackyard/_files/documents/magazine/2017/winter/0117antelope.pdf" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="c7bea2e0-b242-4f60">longer than most</a> other fast land animals who sprint primarily to hunt. The pronghorn's speed and endurance could very well have been an evolutionary adaptation to help them evade hunters.</p>
<p data-webtasks-id="09bbceb9-4b02-47ae"><b data-webtasks-id="dc85c192-6ccd-4f48">3. Goitered Gazelle</b></p>
<p data-webtasks-id="e025e8a6-c631-4474">Next on our list is a mid-sized gazelle found in many parts of Asia, particularly northwest China, southern Kazakhstan and Mongolia. These beauties <a href="https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Gazella_subgutturosa/" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="5361dc7b-288a-49d8">get their name</a> thanks to an enlargement on the larynx that resembles a goiter. Goitered gazelles can achieve a high speed of 60 mph (97 kph), which is fortunate since they are popular targets for hunters. Currently, this land animal holds the <a href="https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/118575-fastest-antelope" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="a7243c48-82f2-422d">Guinness World Record</a> for "fastest antelope."</p>
<p data-webtasks-id="2127d62b-8b15-4a46"><b data-webtasks-id="0f1466bf-4cbb-4946">4. Springbok</b></p>
<p data-webtasks-id="39f5472b-ae0c-4f02">The springbok is native to Southern Africa, and can run <a href="https://www.britannica.com/animal/springbok-mammal" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="c0275a28-740d-4719">55 mph</a> (88 kph) in short bursts. This mid-sized antelope is also known for its maneuvering capabilities, like turning sharply while being chased and making incredibly long leaps to throw off pursuers, like cheetahs.</p>
<p data-webtasks-id="83ffc2c7-f83a-40c5"><b data-webtasks-id="3e622a66-7437-4373">5. American Quarter Horse</b></p>
<p data-webtasks-id="40faf0ef-aa3c-4d54">Quarter horses were specifically bred over time to be fast. In fact, the name directly refers to the breed's speed, as it describes its ability to outrun other horse breeds in races of a quarter mile or less, <a href="https://www.aqha.com/-/what-is-a-quarter-horse" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="3c4fe91e-d82c-47bf">according to the American Quarter Horse Association</a>. The world's most popular horse breed, the quarter horse can run up to 55 mph (88 kph), which is undoubtedly why they're so popular in ranching and horse racing circles.</p>
<p data-webtasks-id="060298a4-ee52-47a0">Standards set in a 1940 meeting of the American Quarter Horse Association actually require that legit quarter horses need to be able to do a quarter-mile (402-meter) run in 23 seconds or less (if they can't do that, they must demonstrate other quarter horse ranching skills to qualify).</p>

These fish, known for their long, pointy bills that resemble swords, actually have <a href="https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/219/13/1953/15238/Lubricating-the-swordfish-head" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="032e6bce-d33d-4999">oil-producing glands</a>, which when secreted help the fish move at ultra-high speeds.

<p data-webtasks-id="075cfd89-21e2-482f">Compared with their bluefin brethren, yellowfin tuna are practically miniature, at "only" 400 pounds (190 kilograms). Known as one of the <a href="https://oceana.org/marine-life/yellowfin-tuna/" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="527f221a-d4d8-4fc2">fastest swimmers in the ocean,</a> the yellowfin tuna swims constantly, sometimes reaching speeds of <a href="https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/oceans/wildlife-facts/yellowfin-tuna/" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="8f1acec5-1adf-45b8">50 mph</a> (80 kph). They achieve these impressive speeds by folding their bright yellow fins in.</p>
<p data-webtasks-id="c683c515-07a0-42f4"><b data-webtasks-id="9f506033-78eb-4f9e">5. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna</b></p>
<p data-webtasks-id="c15412fa-4621-441d">Tiny tuna, these are not. Atlantic <a href="https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/tuna" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="79eb1422-7b77-475d">bluefin tuna</a> can reach sizes of more than 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms) and 10 feet (3 meters) in length. This, combined with their impressive fishy muscles and aerodynamic shape allow them to swim up to 43 mph (69 kph). This is helpful, as the migratory patterns of tuna are enormous, with some going from the Gulf of Mexico to the coast of Europe, then back to breed!</p>

<p class="text-base" data-webtasks-id="7fa8ca62-7ec8-49e9">There are some outliers to this list we should point out: Black marlins normally achieve speeds of just <a href="https://a-z-animals.com/blog/the-10-fastest-fish-in-the-ocean/" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="b8a85a79-7a83-469b">30 mph</a> (48 kph), but <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD7t057XIi8" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="cac23c49-9144-4b59">a BBC report claimed</a> that a fisherman caught a black marlin, which stripped the line off a reel at 120 feet per second. This would suggest the fish was swimming at about 80 mph (129 kph). If this was correct, this would make the black marlin the fastest fish in the sea. However, the record has not been substantiated. Also, <a href="https://www.kpcc.org/2014-04-29/tiny-mite-beats-out-cheetah-as-world-s-fastest-lan" class="ext-link" data-webtasks-id="9930e0a0-04ed-491e">scientists clocked a mite</a> in Southern California moving 322 body lengths per second, whereas a cheetah moving 60 mph only does 16 body lengths per second. By this measure, the mite could also be considered the fastest land animal.</p>
