Speed is key to survival for many land animals, whether they are chasing prey or escaping predators. The cheetah holds the title for the fastest land mammal, reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. But other animals, like pronghorn antelopes and ostriches, aren’t far behind!
These animals have evolved powerful muscles, lightweight bodies, and aerodynamic shapes to enhance their speed. Whether sprinting in the wild or competing in nature’s races, they are built for velocity.
