Fastest Land Animals
 

We had a discussion at work about this subject yesterday . There was a lot of dispute about some animals, but research showed some interesting twists.

Without looking anything up on Google, put these animals in order from fastest to slowest. It's just a fun exercise.

Coyote
Quarter Horse
Wildebeest
Bison
Greyhound
White-tailed deer
Jack Rabbit

Edit: There's a 20 mph difference from fastest to slowest in the list.

Nothing else comes close

Wow this is going to be brutal. But okay I'll try.

Fastest to slowest....

Quarter Horse
Greyhound
White-tailed deer
Coyote
Jack Rabbit
Bison
Wildebeest

No cheetah or jaguar?

It is tough. This was a 45 minute discussion over lunch. Yeah, we're a bunch of engineering nerds. Heh.

Quarter Horse
White-tailed deer
Greyhound
Coyote
Jack Rabbit
Bison
Wildebeest

Everyone knows the cheetah is the fastest, so it's not on the list nor was it in the discussion.

..but you repeat yourself.

I know for a fact Jack rabbits can do every bit of 50 MPH because I've chased many on a 4 wheeler .

Part of this is perception by looking at the animal, much like the NFL combine. "He looks the part!"

3) Quarter Horse
7) White-tailed deer
5) Greyhound
6) Coyote
2) Jack Rabbit
4) Bison
1) Wildebeest

Assuming we're just talking top speed and not including acceleration, quickness etc here's my worst guess. :D

Jack Rabbit
Greyhound
Coyote
White-Tailed deer
Quarter Horse
Wildebeest
Bison

Yes, it's top speed.

u guys are serious not considering the predators.... A healthy-aged wilder beast can keep up with a lion. An since the fasted land animal is a cheetah I guess the following:

Wildebeest
Greyhound
Quarter Horse
Bison
Coyote
Jack Rabbit
White-tailed deer

You got the fastest and the slowest.
