And you thought you knew everything about all the animals? Well, not really!

In the animal world, speed can be defined as the rate at which a predator hunts its prey. It is said that a predator that can run faster than its prey, and a prey that can outrun its predator, survives and exists in the wild.

1) Cheetah: One of the wildest, yet sexiest animals in the world is also one of the fastest! It has a speed of 109.4–120.7 km/h. Don’t be surprised; there are many more on the list!
