What Animals You Can't Outrun Even in 3 Minutes

and they're off the nile crocodile easily outswims the hippo they're swimming upstream against a heavy current but the crocs body is built for swimming through rough water it weighs as much as two refrigerator freezers and is thought to be the heaviest reptile on earth it can swim up to 22 miles per hour the hippo can't swim not really it just walks on the bottom of the river and pushes off from any big rocket vines it can close its nostrils whenever it wants to be able to glide a bit through the water but it's no match for the croc the croc reaches the shore and starts running through a field but better make way the hippos catching up it's speeding across the flat terrain even though it's huge the hippo can out sprint a human the croc was miles ahead but the hippo's faster on foot the hippo breaks through the ribbon it's all over beep beep hey there road runner what you're running from wait hold everything that coyote is catching up fast he's right on your tail the greater road runner can run up to 20 miles per hour even faster when it's really hungry despite what you see in cartoons a coyote is actually twice as fast as a roadrunner but the cartoon version is way funnier in lane one from the dense jungles of south america the everslow sloth and right underneath him in lane two we have a typical garden snail and the race is on for the slowest animal on earth with the sloth's top speed clocking in at 0.2 miles per hour it's no wonder they call it a giant moving pillow well i call them that the snail is off to a good start it can cover a small neighborhood in about an hour this boneless creature has only one foot which is covered in protective slime it's too blurry to see but i think the sloth is still in the same spot and now it's asleep it'll probably be asleep through the whole race a sloth can snooze it up for 15 hours a day it's asleep for more than half of its life and look the snail got out of that sunny patch next up a shady patch it's too close to call we'll have to wait till the swath wakes up to get back to this race a grizzly bear can easily outrun a human if you're at a picnic and you cook up something a little too yummy better leave your lunch behind the fastest a human can sprint is 28 miles per hour set of course by usain bolt so he'd probably be able to run away in time if you're slower than him which you are then you're in trouble in a one-on-one sprint between a human and a grizzly bear you're gonna be the bear's lunch every time but out of all the bears which one's the fastest polar bears grizzly bears brown bears sun bears and the cute cuddly panda bear on your marks get set go the tension is palpable the grizzly and the brown bear are clawed a claw a brown bear can easily run as fast as a grizzly the sun bear is the smallest bear in the race it's about six feet long or tall or whatever it just can't keep up the polar bear got off to a great start but it just doesn't have the speed of the grizzly or brown bear grizzly takes the lean no it's the brown bear now grizzly wait where's panda what's it doing i don't think it knows it's a race but isn't it cute it just finished its third bamboo stick a panda bear can eat up to 28 pounds of bamboo a day that's like a lot but it's off it found its shortcut and is rolling down that hill it zooms past the grizzly and the brown bear it's all over panda wins sorry bears we all know that the panda isn't exactly fast it's actually one of the slowest bears still if you see a panda rolling down the hill in your direction run a boeing 747 has a top speed of around 620 miles per hour the fastest bird is the gray-headed albatross it can fly up to 80 miles per hour and stay up there for 10 hours without landing the peregrine falcon is faster but only when it's diving straight down to grab some takeout watch out vision wow big planes take a long time to get up in the air but the albatross it's up and off in a few seconds it's in the lead but a few minutes later back to slo-mo ville the sloths away that's good but so far it's only managed to lift its arm to reach that tree branch the garden snail still trying to get past that big rock sloths spend a lot of their time as motionless as possible so that they don't become someone else's breakfast not great training for a race but hold on player 3 has entered the race it's the galapagos tortoise its powerful front legs carry this tank of an animal it's a whopping four times faster than a garden snail this just got interesting we got ourselves the race that'll last a century the tortoise is running and dodging every obstacle nothing can stop it hey no cheating sloth don't be dropping tree branches from up there deep underground a mole's busy burrowing around a mole can eat as many earthworms as his own body weight and can dig around 15 feet per hour the american badger is the fastest digging animal in the world and is surprisingly fast on land it can almost match the speed of a human on a good day head to head the american badger wins the tunnel race pretty easily too bad the mall can't see where it's going moles aren't really blind they just have terrible eyesight and they're color-blind and they can't wear glasses down there ah the proud cheetah it's sprinting across the savannah at warp speed i've been the fastest land mammal for millions of years i've got this the fastest cheeto on record was a sprinter named sarah when she was 11 she ran 100 meters in under 6 seconds a cheetah can run up to 80 miles per hour if it sees something tasty sarah was raised in an american zoo and was one of the first cheetahs to have a puppy buddy when she was growing up alexa and sarah friends forever but soaring above sarah is a humble little bat and that bad is making sarah look slow the brazilian free-tailed bat can hit 100 miles per hour it's the fastest mammal on the planet now time for some shrinking first of the blocks is the australian tiger beetle it charges forward at six miles per hour they may not seem like much but relative to its size it's lightning fast there's like a human running alongside a high-speed train running in the inside lane is the saharan silver end ants are team players and are strongest when they're working together but even one ant can be amazingly strong an ant can lift hundreds of times its own weight and can sprint like there's no tomorrow crusade bull can hit four strides per second this silver ant does 50. scientists even discovered that these little ants like to gallop once they reach their top speed our last contender the fastest animal on earth it's none other than this tiny mite it's only the size of a sesame seed if we go by body length per second this microscopic animal outruns everything else on the planet it's believed to run almost twice as fast as the tiger beetle and if it were human size it would run faster than the speed of sound um let's get back to the crawlers they finished yet the tortoise is in the lead the snail finally got past that large rock and the sloth is on its way to branch number two the tortoise is three feet away from the finish line wow i just can't take much more of this excitement but i think i have time for a latte
