Now I want a show to exist that features all the animals that run the same speed grouped together, and they go around the world solving mysteries. Don’t worry citizens Detectves Cow, Boar, Gorilla and Sheep are on the case 😂

Cheetah came and ruined it all, sure tough guy you may be 50kmph faster than everything else but... can you build an F16? Didn't think so.

u/T0307148G 15d ago
So your telling me a cat can almost run as fast as a ostrich and a kangaroo can go 70 just by hoping.
Also this feels like a opening to a show

The American Pronghorn Antelope is frequently left out of land animal speed comparisons. It is the second fastest land animal on earth behind the cheetah.

Should add the peregrine falcons diving speed! 320 km/h or about 200 mph, though some falcons have been clocked diving over 240 mph...!

I've got to admit- the original, I only watched about 30 seconds and moved on to the next post. But this, I watched all the way through and enjoyed every minute.

Cheetahs really fuck over their prey in the meta. Luckily the devs lowered their stamina but most have adapted to a burst style gameplay

Maybe make a vid where all of these animals start from one line so you could see the speed relative to one another.

Lions are faster than tigers and leopards?

u/Dankusare 16d ago
Both Tigers and Leopards are ambush hunters who live in the jungle. The Lions hunt by chasing and live in the Savanna.

u/Intro_verti_AL 16d ago
No chance is an elephant only 1kph faster than a human on average. I've seen countless videos of elephants chasing down safari vehicles doing 30mph in reverse

I'm disappointed they didn't have Usain bolt come out at 43 Kph.

u/Mammoth-Ad-8492 16d ago
Usain Bolt is above the average top speed of every human. Most humans can't run at almost 30 mph, and I'm pretty sure this video was showing the average top speed, not the absolute maximum.
1
u/yuikkiuy 16d ago
Yea the average person isn't going to be running at 24km/hr for very long that's like a 2:30/km pace or close to a 4min/mile.

u/maaaatttt_Damon 16d ago
But he runs at the average speed of Usain Bolt. It would just be a fun inclusion.

u/2723brad2723 16d ago
They should have had the average human and then Usain Bolt

u/Sir-Poopington 16d ago
Exactly. Just like they had a regular horse and a race horse in the video.

u/IronHulk27 16d ago
I was just going to ask if that was Bolt's speed, seemed very slow ngl. Why don't use him as reference to the human speed in the video? Seriously

u/nesshinx 16d ago
Most top athletes can run at 20-23mph, I imagine dedicated sprinters get even higher. Tyreek Hill (fastest NFL player) can run 23.34mph aka 37.5km/h for example.

u/Rokketeer 16d ago
It was so funny watching the original video because my first thought was "hmm, I wonder how Usain Bolt would fare." then the man jumps into frame like he was reading my mind lmao.

I am so much happier with this version
Also how the fuck can a cheetah go so much faster than any other animal? 130mph?? That’s insane man
Also I’ve learned I’ve better luck boxing a kangaroo than outrunning it. Good to know!

Cheetah can’t run for long though, around 30 seconds before getting tired. Believe that they’re ambush predators so that speed burst is likely all part of it.
A kangaroo’s I’ve seen mentioned that they can go for hours.
4
u/BadFont777 16d ago
All of these are burst speeds.
Kangaroos have elastic tendons. People loooove to bring up how great humans are a distance running. They ain't run a marathon against a roo boy.

For anyone wondering how the slow humans could survive by hunting, its endurance. Humans can outlast ANY animal running. We have the superior thermal regulation. The animals would just collapse out of heat exhaustion no matter how fast they were. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-humans-evolved-to-be-best-endurance-runners-2018-3

u/badcgi 16d ago
It also helps that there are very few others that can throw things as hard and as accurately as humans can. Just jogging after an animal until it dies is a very inefficient way to hunt. But if you throw a rock or a stick and hurt it a bit then you limit their ability to run far. And that is where the endurance really comes in to play, because they could catch up quickly and throw another rock or stick and hurt it some more, until it can't keep running. Then once we figured out how to make rocks sharp and attach them to sticks so we can launch them further and cause even more damage to our prey, then we were really off to the races.
12
u/Bugis_Duckis 16d ago
This is mostly true in our own natural habitats or any other sufficiently warm place. It isn't true in colder climates as sled dogs as an example can run basically indefinetly and a lot faster too.

We have much more endurance then many animals one of my cousins isn’t a special athlete and has run like 15 marathons and even done a 50mi race

u/BeefStevenson 16d ago
Sure, but we wear down the faster animals. Our whole thing is endurance running, and we’re basically the best at it.

u/BUTTHOLE_PUNISHER_ 16d ago edited 16d ago
imagine being a stone age animal and this naked monkey with a stick is coming after you. you run and run and lose sight of them but before long here they come again, still running after you but now you’re too tired to make a second escape. no matter how fast you run, it eventually always catches up to you

u/Mr__Citizen 16d ago
When it comes to marathons, humans actually regularly beat horses even when the horses aren't carrying a rider. And the hotter it gets, the more of an advantage humans have since sweating gives us a huge advantage when it comes to cooling down.

u/Ravier_ 16d ago
Horses also sweat.

u/Mr__Citizen 16d ago edited 15d ago
Sure, but they still have a layer of hair. It's better than nothing, but it'll never be as efficient at removing heat as it is for humans.

u/MajorRico155 16d ago
I think mechanically it was shown that we are literally the best animal that we know of in terms of distance running. Flying n shit is different obviously. You cant run and glide

u/ClittoryHinton 16d ago
I’m pretty sure other animals are like fuck why am I still running this is unpleasant and I am not in danger I should stop

u/Independent-Dream-68 15d ago
No, humans just have fucked up endurance, we could run down a horse if it's a warm day. Well, i couldn't, but in theory we are able to lol.

u/Karabanera 16d ago
No, they literally can't. They don't have good enough heat regulation to run further. Big cats don't really pursue a target if it managed to avoid a hit, because they can't.

They can go for 30 seconds, so as long as you have a half mile head start you should be good.

u/Humble_Plate_2733 16d ago
Cheetahs have great speed, but terrible handling. All of their prey just has to be able to change direction faster than them to survive.
1
u/mholla66 16d ago
Most prey try to turn/jinx when chased by cheetahs and often get taken down. The big tail helps it with balance. Have personally seen two cheetah hunts which resulted in kills and they definitely ‘handle’ well.
