10 fastest animals in the world
Here in the channel, we regularly talk about the biggest, the scariest, or the weirdest animals. I think
now its high time we talk about the fastest. Just how fast are these animals? Definitely faster than this
intro that’s for sure. Number one is the undisputed fastest animal on earth so make sure you stay tuned
to find out what it is. Here are the 10 fastest animals in the world.

Number 10. The Blue Wildebeest
The blue wildebeest is a member of the antelope family, although its heavy build and disproportionately
large forequarters make it look more like cows than deer. Blue wildebeests can reach 8 feet in length,
stand 4.5 feet tall at the shoulders and weigh up to 600 pounds.
But don’t let their size and weight fool you, these guys are fast, especially when being pursued by
predators. They have extremely strong legs and shoulders that help propel 6them up to 50 mph, more
than enough speed to outrun a hungry pack of lions, their main predators.
Blue Wildebeest are normally found in large groups for protection, only relying on their speed to escape
from predators if needed. They make migration in the dry season to wetlands in searching for grass.
Blue Wildebeest used to get alarmed by predators from Zebras those animals which follow the same
migratory path.

Number 9. The Marlin
Marlins are among the fastest fish in the sea, if some are to be believed, maybe even the fastest. Marlin
species include the Atlantic blue marlin, black marlin, Indo-Pacific blue marlin, striped marlin, and white
marlin. They are easily recognized by their long, spear-like upper jaw and tall first dorsal fin. They are
also highly sought after by both sport and commercial fishermen.
Some people claim that the black marlin is the fastest fish in the sea. The BBC even reported that It was
said to have stripped line off a reel at 120 feet per second, meaning the fish was swimming nearly 82
mph. But most experts agree that they are fast, but they aren’t that fast.
According to them, they can reach speeds of up to 50 mph on average. But some, like the pacific blue
marlin, have been clocked at a top speed of 68 mph, and that’s despite weighing over 200 pounds on
average.

Number 8. The Pronghorn Antelope
The pronghorn is one of the often-overlooked mammals on the North American continent. Usually
mislabeled as antelope, this species of grazer is actually more closely related to goats and vast herds
once roamed throughout the plains.

By making it to this list, you can bet that this animal is fast. Their average running speed has been
clocked at 55 mph, but they have been known to run significantly faster. But that’s not what makes
them such amazing animals.
Because you see, being able to run very fast usually comes with a caveat; most fast animals can only
sustain their speed for only short bursts. What’s amazing about the pronghorn is that they have the
ability to run fast at the same time can travel long distance without getting tired. Even though cheetahs
are faster than that of pronghorn antelope they can never run long distance with the same energy.
They can grow to a height of three feet and have very strong legs and shoulders, which I’m pretty sure
are the reasons for their great speed and endurance, which they definitely need because these animals
have been known to make 300 mile migrations.

Number 7. The Sailfish
Clocked at speeds in excess of 68 mph, some experts consider the sailfish the fastest fish in the world’s
oceans. They are named for the spectacular sail-like dorsal fin that extends for nearly the entire length
of their silver-blue body. Additionally, the sailfish's upper jaw is far longer than its lower jaw, forming a
distinctive bill that looks like, and at an excess of 68 mph sometimes acts like, a spear.
Often working together in groups of two or more, swift sailfish thrash at and disrupt schools of smaller
fish such as sardines and anchovies, thus allowing each sailfish to more easily snag its meals. The
sailfish's spear-like bill also comes in handy for slashing at larger prey fish, which stuns them into
submission. Together, sailfish engage their huge dorsal fins, creating a fence around their prey to
prevent their victims from escaping their clutches.
Though popular with sport anglers, sailfish cannot be taken commercially in U.S. waters except as
incidental catch in Pacific longline and gillnet fisheries. Possession of sailfish is prohibited on commercial
fishing vessels in the Atlantic.
