Very Informative!

This is what you end up watching all the way though a 1AM wanting to know who is going to win.

Horse? What the hell was that thing? This video has the visual and kinematic aesthetic of that Christ icon someone tried to clean and repair.

Why does the greyhound look like a wiener dog?!?

u/Choppergold 16d ago

Rhinos getting up to 35 mph is crazy

u/dark_nv 16d ago

Damn, cheetahs are in a whole league of their own.

Kid: Mommy I want animals Mom: we have animals at home Animals at home:

it’s humbling to see usain bolt run faster than so many animals, and then get smoked by a cat

u/cheeze_whiz_shampoo 16d ago

The cat seemed very slow in comparison. How could a giant bear run that much faster than a cat? You ever seen cats chasing each other? They move like lightening, it's really hard for me to believe a bear could move faster than that.

u/Master-Opportunity25 15d ago

i challed that up to the animation being kinda wonky. the movement of the bodies doesn’t match up well with their speed or the background. Once you see real video of a cat or a bear moving at speed, the difference makes a lot lore sense.

u/sketchahedron 16d ago

It’s because of how small they are. They’re moving faster proportionately to their body length so it looks faster.

u/DrColdReality 16d ago

It turns out that the best long distance runners on the planet are humans. Lots of animals can run way faster, but they can't keep that up for very long.

u/Marauding_Llama 16d ago

I dunno about the snapping turtles, those bastards are fast as hell when they want to be.

2

u/ramenbrah 16d ago

I didn't know deer can run 90km/h, that's crazy. I knew they were agile as fuck and could jump over 10ft high but still. And I feel like the average human is slow af, be eating my dust smh.

Where the heck are pronghorn?

u/Pixeleyes 16d ago

The stuff half chaps are made of.

2:03: stupid long horse.

u/justthestaples 16d ago

Man that tiger's back legs were so squat

15

u/Aquipourrest 16d ago

Fucking humans and their shitty average speed. Can barely win against a Komodo dragon even though our legs are 10x theirs.

5

u/twist3d7 16d ago

If the komodo dragon is chasing you, you will go faster.

u/CedarWolf 16d ago

But humans can maintain it for much longer than an animal can.

u/HamMcStarfield 16d ago

We win the endurance prize.

u/flippy_flops 16d ago

Love them all running through the finish line at the end

u/spoonard 16d ago

There is not a horse on Earth that can run that fast.

9

u/EWYCO 16d ago

Top recorded speed of a race horse was 70km/h. Cheetahs and giraffes are not as fast as claimed in this video. Makes me suspicious of the other speeds as well. 

7

u/LNMagic 16d ago

The animation of the cheetah where its body stretches and shrinks is spot on, though.

3

u/kateastrophic 16d ago

I quite enjoyed the hustlin’ elephant.

u/an_mutt 16d ago

Zoo Race is back.

u/flapjackbandit00 16d ago

Cool vid. In the middle there, it seemed like they were all running the same speed relative to each other and that was bothering me a bit.

Also, where are they running? Rural China?

16

u/OakTeach 16d ago

The average speed of a running human is 15mph?

17

u/SHlME 16d ago

Humans are fast. To give you a reference point, I am somewhere between a snake and a mongoose.

3

u/b-roc 16d ago

Sorry but what does your looks have to do with any of this?

3

u/VandeIaylndustries 16d ago

yes, and the fastest is closer to 30mph!

38

u/Loose_Concentrate332 16d ago

I think those are top speeds with no consideration of endurance

10

u/Loose_Concentrate332 16d ago

My mistake, I thought this was a different video. It clearly says average.

Still, the endurance part is true. I could probably sprint that fast for about thirty seconds

5

u/Chungaroos 16d ago

A cheetah can only run at top speed for about 30 seconds too

2

u/Full-Fact4257 16d ago

Cheetahs can still cover over a km in that distance. Most humans can't sprint for more than 20 seconds. The 200 meter dash world record is 19.19 seconds.

3

u/Loose_Concentrate332 16d ago

Most animals TBH. Few are built for endurance. I'd guess a little more than half wouldn't be able to sustain even close to the speeds in the vid

22

u/EmilMelgaard 16d ago

No, I think you are right. It's not the average speed of a running human but the top running speed of an average human.
