The fastest human is Usain Bolt, whose speed is about 44 km per hour. The rest of us are a whole lot slower. How slow we are becomes pretty clear when you look at the top speeds of some of the fastest animals on land.
1) Cheetah, 93 km per hour
2) Lion, 80 km per hour
3) Wildebeest, 75 km per hour
4) Pronghorn antelop, 70 km per hour
5) Ostrich, 70 km per hour
6) African wild dog, 70 km per hour
7) Red kangaroo, 65 km per hour
8) Thomson’s gazelle, 65 km per hour
9) Zebra, 64 km per hour
10) Hyena, 60 km per hour
Wow. That is SO fast!
