Fastest Creature In The World | 2019

How far through the animal kingdom do you think he’ll get? Let’s find out! Sorry, Jimmy, but the chances don’t look good. Humans aren’t that fast. Like anyone else, James walks at a humble average speed of 3 mph. Good news, though – he’s already faster than a lot of other land-inhabiting creatures. For example, insects and other bugs are fast only for their tiny sizes. Our competitive friend here can easily outpace almost every one of them! Really? Even house centipedes? Those little monsters move nightmarishly fast! Yeck… Other animals with more comparable sizes to humans, like sloths, koalas, and giant tortoises, are also left far behind. Sloths live in places where it’s too risky to move fast because predators will see them. So, they move at a sluggish 0.15 mph.
