The fastest animals on the earth

The fastest animals on the earth

Throughout the last centuries the researchers from around the world study all subtleties of life of animals: their habits, addictions in food, physical capacities and so forth. Therefore today there is an opportunity to make rather exact rating of the fastest representatives some kind of capable sometimes for only a few seconds to outstrip the moving car.

Instruction

1. The most dexterous and fast being of the planet deservedly called Sapsan – its speed can reach, and at certain individuals and exceed, 340 km/h. Such speed is necessary for this bird of prey for successful hunting for production which it catches with a lightning grasp.

2. The first place among mammals in a pursuit for the right to be the fastest and dexterous is occupied by a cheetah – his speed can reach a point in 120 km/h. The predator keeps up with such active pace throughout several kilometers, then it needs quieter run with the subsequent rest. The cheetah reaches such exclusive indicators at the expense of rather small weight and long jumps during run – to 9 meters.

3. Among water mammals dolphins – over 50 km/h can gather the highest speed. However good-natured inhabitants of the seas are capable to hold its invariable only several minutes. They can reach the largest speed, floating near the moving ship which speed not less than 25 km/h. Dolphins choose such situation that resistance of water was minimum, and gather speed to 65 km/h which even several days in a row can support.

4. Vilorog — leaders in run on long distances. In case of serious danger they can gather speed in limits to 95 km/h, doing jumps long to 6 m. Normal speed of run of this animal is 48 km/h.

5. The ostrich for his ability to gather speed over 70 km/h is recognized as the fastest bird runner. Ostriches are not capable to soar up into the sky, but powerful legs perfectly disperse and achieve such good results.

6. Strangely enough, a champion in the world of insects is the ordinary cockroach – about 5.5 km/h. It is interesting that having transferred growth of a cockroach to human and in proportion having correlated their speeds, the last should run with a speed of 330 km/h to catch up with a swift-footed insect.

7. The record among fishes was set by the sailing vessel – the water favourite at small distances in water can reach speed to 110 km/h.

8. It would seem, than the ordinary chameleon could cause a stir? Lightning language – here its force and the main weapon which the chameleon shoots with a speed, the fivefold speed of the jet plane.

9. As the first in a competition on acceleration it is recognized askobolus shipped which can throw out the disputes with the enormous acceleration not comparable with acceleration of any living being of the planet.
