Fastest land animals — the full ranked list
The complete ranking of fastest land animals, in order, with what the ranking counts and how firm the figures behind it are. Free reference, no sign-up — and the guessing game that plays the same list.
Top recorded running speed. Land only, so the peregrine falcon — which is far faster than anything here — does not qualify. The pronghorn cannot outrun a cheetah but can hold its pace for miles.
The figures behind this ranking move over time, so the order is right for now rather than fixed.
