However, the two cats are not closely related. The tufts of hair may enhance the caracal's hearing, and with dampening fur on its paws it makes little noise when attacking its prey.

Among the lion's prey are antelopes, gazelles, wildebeest and zebras, all of which are fast animals. The lion can often match its prey in sense of speed, but they have comparably poor stamina.
Therefore, they have to sneak up close to their prey before they attack.

Although called an antelope, it is not included in the same family, Bovidae , as most other antelopes. Some of the pronghorn's worst enemies are wolves, coyotes, bobcats and cougars.

True antelopes mainly live on the great plains of Africa and Asia, usually in groups consisting of one male and many females. Grant's gazelle also in Africa and blackbucks mainly in India may possibly be as fast as the Thomson's gazelle, but we have not found any reliable sources on it. Even so, we let the impala share the number two spot with the true antelopes. This is because we have not found any reliable source for how quickly the impala can run, but it is commonly known to be as fast as its relatives the true antelopes.
The Impala lives in Africa and is one of many animal species referred to as antelopes. Antelope is actually an umbrella term for around 90 animal species who are almost all included in the family of Bovidae.
But since not all antelopes are bovids remember the American antelope and not all bovids are called antelopes, and some antelopes are more related to goats and sheep than to each other, the term antelope is hard to use in any useful way. Both the impala and the true antelopes have developed their high speeds through natural selection - many of them are prey to the fastest animal in the world. Photo: Mukul2u. The cheetah lives in Africa and parts of the Middle East and is the world's fastest animal on land when it comes to top speed.
A large ostrich will sometimes take steps twenty-five feet long! When an ostrich runs, it spreads its wings out to help it keep its balance. Its wings are too small for flying. The only predator that can out-run them is the Cheetah who can run at speeds up to kilometres an hour but the Cheetah will never attack an ostrich because although they have the speed to catch them they do not have strength to bring such a big animal as an adult ostrich down to the ground and the big cats that ….
Most physicists believe that faster-than-light particles cannot exist because they are not consistent with the known laws of physics.
No experimental evidence for the existence of such particles has been found. At the speed of light, such an object has an infinite mass, while its length is 0 — an impossibility.
However, cassowaries are much more aggressive and have sharper beaks. The winning blow, though, is the cassowaries long and razor sharp nails.
Ostriches can run so fast because of the elasticity in their joints, scientists have found. Ostriches, which are the fastest bird on the land, use tendons to store and return twice as much elastic energy per step than humans.
A horse is faster than a zebra. It can achieve a speed of Even though being slower, a zebra can escape from its predators by running in a zigzag manner. But first, some background: The Peregrine Falcon is indisputably the fastest animal in the sky.
It has been measured at speeds above The record for fastest confirmed level flight by a bird is The peregrine falcon is considered the fastest bird and the fastest member of the animal kingdom, with a flight-diving speed of more than miles per hour when hunting. A greyhound would complete that same race in 5.
While in motion, a running ostrich spreads its wings for balance since it cannot use them for flying due to the small size of its wings. When they are hatched, their size is more like that of chickens but within 6 months, they increase in size looking very large like their parents.
Tame ostriches can be attached to mini carts for children to ride in them. The males among them can roar like lions and a powerful kick from them can kill any animal, even a tiger. The cheetah is lightly built with slim legs and a long tail, it resembles a large cat, has noticeable black spots that are evenly spaced, and is found mostly in Africa and Iran.
Hunting is its major talent which makes it active in the daytime, it lunges at its prey from a distance and pierces its throat thereby suffocating it to death. Its gestation lasts for about 3 months which produces cubs and breeds all year long. The cubs are weaned after 4 months of birth and become independent at 20 months, they are prey to hyenas and lions lucky enough to find them.
