If I ask you "What's the fastest animal on the planet?" and you tell me it's a Cheetah, then come with me. There is a very nice garden I know where we can sit down and have a talk. You see, a Cheetah can travel up to speeds of 109.4 - 120.7 km/h. That is fast enough to outrun any animal on land. So, we can classify that a cheetah is fast. But, is it fast enough to run on water? Or under water? Behold! That title belongs to the sailfish, who can reach 109 km/h, while the cheetah might as well seem irrelevant in water. But both species are no match for an animal that takes home all the bragging rights on Animal Planet and NatGeo Wild with a clear margin. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Peregrine Falcon, who can reach a top speed of 389 km/h at full flight. It surpasses both animals top speed by a margin of 3.2 times, meaning if all three animals were to compete in a circuit sprint, the Peregrine Falcon would've already done three laps while the Cheetah was crossin...
